CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES
THE CHALLENGE
Millions of people of all ages play video games.
THE SOLUTION
While researching other possibilities online, the company
found Avient and requested additional information on its
thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
Additionally, compared
to silicone rubber, the TPE is easier and faster to process,
as it requires no pre-mixing, curing or adhesives.

TPE-2
TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
Figure 3 shows the capillary viscosity
of TPE-1 and TPE-2 at 200oC.
These results confirm that TPE-1 and TPE-2B are truly the
“universal overmolding TPEs.”
