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.
