Versaflex™ HC thermoplastic elastomers can
enhance ergonomics in medical devices by adding
a soft touch and improved grip.
Specifically formulated to bond tightly to the semi-crystalline Trilliant HC
substrate, Versaflex HC OM 8940 demonstrated excellent peel strength (also known as bond strength).

CASE STUDY: TRILLIANT™ HC HIGH PERFORMANCE FORMULATIONS
Challe
nge Accepted.
Trilliant HC High Performance Formulations were
developed for the application needs.
The results showed the
Avient material outperformed typical FR PC/ABS and
had an added bonus: a UL yellow card V0 flammability
rating for all colors and some thicknesses.* Avient
also used its custom color matching capabilities to
provide pre-colored material that simplified molding,
while the material’s wide processing window helped
accommodate a variety of molding environments.
