The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP. Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.

Versaflex™ TPE materials offer great compression set properties for gaskets that need a long lasting seal, and also create durable speaker skins with a silky feel. These TPEs meet industry ingress protection (IP) standards, are overmoldable directly onto common speaker housing substrates, and deliver more design freedom than you’ve ever thought possible. Versaflex TPEs safely deliver on all of these requirements, while also accelerating production speed and reducing manufacturing cost.

There’s a way to achieve both form and function by adding a soft-touch, thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) grip. But by adding a TPE grip to an outdoor product, the perceived value and selling price skyrockets. Some TPE formulas produce a more secure grip, or you can make use of a custom texture for improved handling.

Silicones and the standard TPEs traditionally used in cosmetic packaging present several tradeoffs. Good processability is a key benefit of chemically compatible TPEs. For more information on chemically compatible TPEs, download the application overview
