The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking).
But before making the decision to switch from silicone to the Versaflex material, the company needed to feel confident that it would recoup its capital, which included a $50,000 investment in new tooling, within 12 months.

Versaflex
Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part.

Most Dynaflex® (Styrenic
block copolymer TPE), Versaflex® (polar modified alloys) and Versalloy® (TPV alloy compounds are suitable
for two-shot or insert molding with a polypropylene (PP).
The Over-molding (Versaflex® OM Series and
VersollonTM which is a Urathane alloy) grades are specially formulated to bond to a variety of substrates.

Recently, Finetool Saudi Arabia Company Limited of Jeddah selected
Versaflex HC for the resealing septum in its insert-molded IV bottle cap.
By choosing Versaflex HC over vulcanized rubber materials, Finetool
improved the resealing performance of the septum and was able to cut
down on processing steps for significant system cost reductions.
Apart from manufacturing optimization, Versaflex HC helped Finetool
to avoid coring—the tendency for a material to produce tiny fragments
when penetrated by a needle—with 6mm IV infusion spikes and needles
16 gauge and smaller, even after multiple uses.
