TPEs
Thermoplastic elastomer suitable for use
in contact with food
• Made without bisphenol A (BPA),
phthalates, or heavy metals; select
grades compliant with FDA, EU10/2011
and China GB4806
• Resists bites and tears; many are tested
and safe to use in microwaves and
dishwashers
• Can be overmolded to provide a soft
touch grip and customized to specific
comfort requirements including
vibration and noise reduction
• Can be injection molded and
overmolded right onto a substrate
including PP, ABS, etc
Eliminate the need for many
secondary operations required for
other materials so that results are
controlled and consistent

HOW VERSAFLEX TPEs MAKE THE DIFFERENCE IN PORTABLE SPEAKERS APPLICATIONS
GASKETS
Water and Dust Protection
- Tight housing seals with no leakage over time
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps required of
O-rings by overmolding directly onto the substrate;
strong adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Injection molding TPEs in gaskets enables
complex designs in which simple O-rings would be
challenging to assemble
SPEAKER SKINS
Durable Look and Feel
- Silky feel soft touch
- Long lasting aesthetics with abrasion and UV
resistance
Reduced Manufacturing Costs
- Eliminates sourcing and assembly steps
required of silicone skins by overmolding
directly onto the substrate; strong
adhesion to PC & ABS
- Faster cycle times than silicone or TPU
Design Freedom
- Overmolding TPE removes the need for
mechanical interlocks and primers to get
silicone materials to adhere to substrates
