Protection against the Elements   For speaker gaskets and seals, Versaflex™ CE (40 Shore A) replaces separate O-rings with an overmolded, internal part that firmly bonds to polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), copolyester, or PC/ABS without adhesives. It avoids a need for the cumbersome mechanical interlocks and primers that silicone requires for good adhesion to rigid polymer substrates.   

Suspicious areas were then subjected to chemical analysis, in which the primer, adhesive, and titanium surfaces revealed potential factors that could compromise bonding integrity. Cause-and-effect analysis of the adhesive bonding process gave PDI the information needed to develop a manufacturing process that would provide necessary bond integrity.
