To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate. It also boasts excellent chemical resistance to common substances like cosmetics and cleaners, as well as foods such as olive oil and mustard. It offers excellent surface engineering properties such as low wear, reduced friction, high lubricity, and no squeak.

Good chemical resistance, excellent impact strength at cryogenic temperatures, and high-temperature resistance are inherent features of these functional formulations.   Additional processing and performance highlights include a wide service temperature, low flammability, excellent electrical and mechanical properties, good chemical resistance, and exceptional weatherability. Increase mechanical strength with titanate reinforced formulations while gaining chemical inertness and excellent cryogenic impact resistance.

A change to the formulation used to manufacture LubriOne anti-wear solutions has led to: •    improved processability •    improved surface finish on parts •    lower densities •    improved impact performance These changes have not affected the excellent lubrication and mechanical properties of the original formulation.  The new formulations make an excellent solution even better, and customers benefit from improved manufacturing efficiencies and improvements in part performance,” commented Holger Kronimus, VP Europe and general manager, Specialty Engineered Materials, at PolyOne.   The company is dedicated to serving customers in diverse industries around the globe, by creating value through collaboration, innovation and an unwavering commitment to excellence.

Other requirements were abrasion resistance and excellent aesthetics. Avient recommended an OnFlex-S multicomponent TPE, which offers excellent adhesion to ABS and can be molded at lower temperatures and injection pressures than competitive products. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.

Excellent strength & modulus Excellent thermal stability Excellent creep resistance
