PRODUCT IMPACT
AND PROFITABILITY
CASE STUDY: ONFLEX-S™ THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS
Challe
nge Accepted.
To provide a secure grip
for safety and usability, the company planned to overmold
a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) onto the handle and other
selected areas of the sprayer.
THE IMPACT
With its enhanced processability, OnFlex-S K 65A-3E1709
thermoplastic elastomer enabled the company to solve its
2K molding issues and reduce system costs.

Long fiber thermoplastics (LFTs) offer benefits to design
engineers seeking a material that provides exceptional strength, yet requires
lightweight properties.
DESIGN SUPPORT
Designing your application for long fiber
thermoplastics, regardless of material familiarity,
requires an assessment of a wide array of inputs
to achieve the optimal geometry.
With
these capabilities at our disposal, we assist you with
recommending the following characteristics that
make up your customized solution:
• Resin system selection (i.e., nylon,polypropylene,
rigid thermoplastic polyurethane, etc
