Weight reductions
between 15 and 30% can be reached in standard
monolayer and co-extruded applications.
Building & Construction
Chemical foaming agents create an
especially fine-celled foam structure in
extruded goods.
This cellular structure
results in weight reductions of 15 to 30%
in films and sheets and 20 to 40% in pipes,
profiles, and boards.

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.
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.
The material may be injection molded,
overmolded or extruded, offering expanded design
freedom for adding a touch of security and reducing
slippage where water can otherwise make products
slippery

TPEs were determined to be most susceptible to microbial
attack under the appropriate environmental conditions.
Physical and mechanical
property testing was also performed on extruded pellets
and/or specimens prepared from injection molded
plaques.
These
results made TPEs an attractive candidate for
modification with antimicrobial additives for the preser-
vation of the TPEs in their end product use and for fur-
ther efficacy studies.

These are high clarity TPEs with high tensile and
tear properties.
These TPEs have
good processability.
Surface
smoothness of both injection molded and
extruded products is affected by the rheology and
interface shear stress of the system.
