OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers
Solutions for Automotive Applications
To keep up with industry demands, regulatory
challenges and end-user preferences, it’s imperative
to consider the influence of material specifications
at the beginning of the product development cycle.
Known for offering tight seals and reducing
vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers
(TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited
for your particular application than the historically
incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs,
thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic
polyolefins (TPO).
