Table 1 summarizes the physical properties of GLS TPS suitable for
overmolding.
Table 2 lists the GLS TPE products that were developed to overmold onto
different substrates along with their adhesion test data.
Figure 2 illustrates some common
GLS Materials, their supplied hardness, and the relationship between hardness
and thickness.

The Avient team
assessed the application’s technical and operational
requirements, and recommended GLS Versalloy™ XL-
9045-1 alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant
medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
THE IMPACT
Avient’s expertise in materials for medical device
applications helped this customer make a smooth
transition to the GLS TPV.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2021-04/versaflex-computer-mouse-case-study.pdf
To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip,
a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was
formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort,
strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to
the ABS substrate.
A technical support team at Avient
GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive
compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and
overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies
This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers
has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit
bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist
fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial
and fungi growth
• Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by
controlling deterioration caused by mildew
or mold fungus
• Increases product durability, preserves surface
integrity, and minimizes odors
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications,
GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add
value in the consumer, packaging and automotive
markets.
