The resulting custom-formulated grades of GLS™ Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPE allowed the manufacturer to switch to a two-shot molding process that eliminated the time-consuming and costly assembly operations needed for the old part. Finally, the new TPE grades also boasted lower extractables because they required no crosslinking, unlike thermoset silicones. Reduced assembly costs: Switching to Dynalloy™ OBC and Versaflex™ TPE allowed the introduction of two-shot molding, which eliminated a multi-component assembly process.

GOBIE overmolds GLS Versaflex™ TPE material on the bottle’s patented FlexFlo™ squeeze grip, non-slip base and finger-loop to deliver a comfortable non-slip grip, attractive aesthetics and a strong bond for durability. Hoffman noted that before selecting the Versaflex material, GOBIE evaluated more than 40 different materials, including rubber, along with methods such as bonding and ultrasonic welding.
