Their discussions led them to focus on a formulation within the OnFlex™ S HF portfolio of non-halogenated, flame retardant materials.
Flexibility in processing: The OnFlex S HF material can be supplied in either natural or pre-colored grades.
Overmolding capabilities: High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multicavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).
