VERSAFLEX™ VDT 4202-40B DYNAFLEX™ G7940 Defining Characteristic Vibration damping Vibration isolation What it Does Dampens vibrations,and specifically minimizes appliance walking Isolates vibrations, which reduces overall movement of the appliance Tactile Feel Grippy feel Soft touch, rubbery feel Coloring Black Natural Hardness 40 Shore A 40 Shore A Overmolding Substrate Polypropylene Polypropylene HOME APPLIANCE SOLUTIONS REDUCE MOVEMENT OF TOP LOAD WASHING MACHINES WITH TPES FOR ANTI-VIBRATION FEET EXAMPLES OF APPLICATION-SPECIFIC MATERIALS AND DESIGN SUPPORT DynaflexVersaflex VDT Polypropylene HOW OUR TPES MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN TOP LOADING WASHING MACHINE ANTI-VIBRATION FEET Lower the number of service calls – Our TPEs for anti-vibration feet reduce appliance movement and walking during use, thus lowering the number of service calls and reducing costs. Keep top load washing machines from walking – Versaflex VDT TPEs use vibration damping technology to prevent walking during use.
