These 5G transparent
TPEs combine the excellent physical properties,
aesthetics and UV resistance qualities of traditional
TPEs with lower dielectric constant (Dk) and
dissipation factor (Df) performance, resulting in
an advanced material solution with less signal
degradation for next-generation devices.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Enables excellent permittivity and low-loss
performance for high-speed signal transmission
and connectivity
• Delivers lower Dk and Df performance
compared to standard TPEs
• Provides excellent physical properties,
UV resistance and aesthetics
INDUSTRIES & APPLICATIONS
Versaflex CE 3140 TPEs are formulated for use in
phone cases to minimize signal loss and enable
high-speed connectively for 5G devices to deliver
a seamless experience for consumers.

Its design
team determined the need for a soft-touch material
with strong chemical resistance and color stability for
the mouse grip.
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.
