This custom Versaflex grade provides 60 Shore A hardness and superior tear strength.
For the mouse feet, Avient formulated a special grade of LubriOne™ filled acetal as an improvement over the neat acetal found in traditional designs.
The LubriOne grade offers a kinetic coefficient of friction value (0.108), which is roughly 50% better than that of the traditional material.

To produce a glossy surface, a polished mold is required and an unfilled grade should be used.
Rheological balancing is possible, but only for a specific grade or rheometric curve.
Due to the low viscosity of some GLS grades, properly maintained tight valve gates are required to prevent leakage or hair flash.
