KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Excellent lot-to-lot and within-lot consistency for
high-quality homogeneous black shades
• Easy processing and support of a long-lasting
spin pack lifetime
• Fastness properties and specification tolerances
on par with high-end products on the market
• Standard and bluish undertones available
in high pigment loadings for an efficient and
competitive coloration package
• Can be combined with additives into a single
combination concentrate for convenience
• Compliance with global, regional, and local
standards and regulations*
RECOMMENDED USE
• In most cases, the concentrate is added
directly to the resin using gravimetric or
volumetric dosing units; for some processes,
the concentrate can be added via a side stream
extruder (direct spinning)
• The recommended dosages are from 3% for
the typical automotive, technical, and carpet
applications and up to 6% for apparel, footwear,
and home textile yarns
* Contact your local sales representative for more information on
regulatory compliance

Versaflex™ TF Adhesive Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
for Textile Fabrics
As consumers are becoming more health-
conscious, there’s a steady increase in the demand
for functional, lightweight, and comfortable fitness
clothing that is also visually appealing.
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.
Versaflex TF Adhesive TPEs offer easy processing
and shaping, and can also be custom-colored
and cost-efficiently laser-cut.
