These specialty adhesive TPE solutions are easy to process and shape, enabling a strong bond with highly elastic fabrics.
Compared to those alternative materials, Versaflex TF TPEs also do not include plasticizers, and contain lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) than traditional adhesive solutions, reducing concerns over toxicity.

Incorporating composite materials in snowboard bindings is not a new concept.
Injection overmolding with thermoplastic composite laminates combines the advantages of injection molding—the ability to create complex shapes and fast cycle times—with the lightweight strength and durability of continuous fiber reinforcement.
And, unlike thermosets, thermoplastic materials are able to be easily thermoformed to the exact shape required before inserting into the injection mold.
