Avient material scientists found the perfect combination
with a custom rigid nylon formulation for the handle
paired with a soft GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)
in the grip areas.
Beyond finding the
best material combination—Bergamid™ nylon copolymer
and GLS™ TPEs—our global presence and expertise
across an array of specialty polymers and colorants,
combined with local service and support, helped
Victorinox to accelerate development work, streamline
production and reach their design goals.

Versaflex™ CF Low Adhesive Build-up TPE
for Protective Film Tack Layer
Protective films guard the surface of finished goods
from initial fabrication through assembly, shipment,
storage, and installation.
Versaflex™ CF 6668 low adhesion build-up TPE for
protective film meets that need.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• High initial adhesion on steel, PMMA, and various
other substrates
• Stable and low adhesion build-up over time to
prevent residue
• Low unwinding force for improved efficiency
when pasting film
• Good gel control
• One-step extrusion processing to improve
manufacturing efficiency
• Reduced VOC emissions compared to current
solvent-based coating technology
• Can be recycled as a thermoplastic material
APPLICATIONS
The low adhesion build-up performance of Versaflex
CF 6668 TPE makes it ideal for use in protective films
for high-end applications including:
• Appliance
• Household furniture
• Building & construction
• Automotive
