In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
These savings resulted from Versalloy’s lower specific gravity (0.88 compared to 0.95) and a 50% reduction in scrap rate.

As shown in figure 2, in high shear rate regimes, the viscosity is at the
lower end of the spectrum which helps the TPE to flow into and fill the thin-walled sections commonly
encountered during overmolding.
GLS 285-056 exhibits good aging properties at 70°C for at least one week.
This is illustrated by the initial and
final properties after aging shown in Figure 7 indicate that GLS 285-056 exhibits good aging properties at 70°C
