POWER TOOL BRAND D I A S T I M E T E R C O V E R • Anti-static properties to enable stable and accurate measurements • Good wear resistance to avoid friction between TPE-made part and the internal metal part • Met anti-static standard surface resistivity 109-1010 Ω/m2which reduced error for circular measurement by 55% and linear measurement by 33% • Provided a formulation with better wear resistance than the previous overmold material • Offered excellent bond adhesion to PC/ABS Versaflex ™ OM Thermoplastic Elastomer KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

CASE STUDY: VERSAFLEX™ OM TPES THE CHALLENGE Millions of people of all ages play video games. Ultimately, the company selected a Versaflex™ OM overmolding grade that bonded tightly to the polycarbonate (PC) substrate of the grips without the need for adhesives. The Versaflex OM TPE also provides the desired tactile feel, delivering better grippiness than silicone rubber without sacrificing comfort and resilience that are important to the sustained play.
