Synthetic oils and greases have typically been used, and while they offer significant benefits, they also present drawbacks. What’s more, using lubricants to protect a component from wear is a two-step process, because the part must first be manufactured, then coated with oil or grease, adding cost to the manufacturing process. And because they’re formulated with lubricious additives, routine maintenance using oils and greases is ancient history.

Brands using silicone or TPU materials have been seeking an alternative for a number of reasons, including long sourcing lead times and manufacturing challenges for silicone and the inability of TPU to endure blue jeans contact without staining. Versaflex CE 3320-70 showed no signs of staining, equal to that of the industry benchmark, a branded white silicone case. This recyclable thermoplastic also processes faster than silicones and adheres well to polycarbonate when overmolded.
