Versaflex™ XP Wet Grip Thermoplastic Elastomer Typically, when TPEs get wet, the kinetic coefficient of friction (COF) performance is worse, resulting in a slippery surface. The Versaflex™ XP 2850 formulation is a specialty TPE developed to meet the challenge of wet environments, offering nearly double its dry kinetic COF when wet for better grip performance. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Excellent COF performance (both wet and dry) • Outstanding abrasion and UV resistance • Easily colorable • Custom formulations available to achieve specific performance properties • Injection moldable (can be overmolded) and extrudable • Retains properties and performance when immersed in salt water MARKETS & APPLICATIONS This grip-enhancing TPE is colorable and customizable to meet the look and functional requirements of a broad range of consumer applications.
