To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate. It also boasts excellent chemical resistance to common substances like cosmetics and cleaners, as well as foods such as olive oil and mustard. It offers excellent surface engineering properties such as low wear, reduced friction, high lubricity, and no squeak.

Excellence. Safety is paramount and leads our approach to operational excellence. So last year, we continued to leverage these unique offerings with our customers.
