Protection against the Elements
For speaker gaskets and seals, Versaflex™ CE (40 Shore A) replaces separate O-rings with an overmolded, internal part that firmly bonds to polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), copolyester, or PC/ABS without adhesives.
Durability with a Silky Feel
For speaker skins, Versaflex™ CE (80 Shore A) supplies a softer, silkier feel than TPUs while also delivering durability via resistance to abrasion, UV light and sunscreen chemicals.

This can be primarily attributed to differences in the solubility parameters of the primary solvent/stress cracking agent and the polymer itself.
It can be seen that the PC/ABS and PC/PET samples failed to survive the disinfectant exposure and produce a testable sample.
With regards to PC alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS < PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on previous research and the marketing literature of PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR performance against the household cleaners.
