HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates

A laser mark lasts
the lifetime of a part; is resistant to solvents, oils,
and scratching; and is easy to read.
Our Cesa™ Laser
Marking Additives not only contain a laser marking
additive but also deliver a part’s color and can
include other additives such as those for scratch or
UV resistance.

Rigid polymers typically used
to make housings for medical devices are
failing to resist these chemicals.
PolyOne conducted a comparative
study of polymer resistance to three common, harsh disinfectant chemistries.
When this improved chemical resistance is combined with excellent
melt flow, flame resistance, UV resistance, and appearance, it’s easy to see why Resilience™ HC Rigid
Molding Materials are becoming the materials of choice for rigid medical device housings.

Edgetek™ ET8900 CR Series
Chemically Resistant Thermoplastics Deliver Advanced Protection
Today’s increased disinfecting and cleaning
protocols can lead to deterioration and reduce the
useful product life for polymeric materials that lack
proper chemical resistance properties.
Developed to meet these challenges, Edgetek
ET8900 CR thermoplastics show improved chemical
resistance to common consumer disinfectants
compared to PC/ABS, PC/PET and PC/PBT.
