Versaflex™ HC thermoplastic elastomers can
enhance ergonomics in medical devices by adding
a soft touch and improved grip.
Specifically formulated to bond tightly to the semi-crystalline Trilliant HC
substrate, Versaflex HC OM 8940 demonstrated excellent peel strength (also known as bond strength).

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES
THE CHALLENGE
Millions of people of all ages play video games.
Ultimately, the company selected a Versaflex™ OM
overmolding grade that bonded tightly to the
polycarbonate (PC) substrate of the grips without the
need for adhesives.
The Versaflex OM TPE also provides the desired tactile
feel, delivering better grippiness than silicone rubber
without sacrificing comfort and resilience that are
important to the sustained play.
