Compared to those alternative materials, Versaflex TF TPEs also do not include plasticizers, and contain lower volatile organic compounds (VOC) than traditional adhesive solutions, reducing concerns over toxicity. Non-toxic formulations with low volatile organic compounds (VOC) and without added plasticizers Bio-derived Material for Underwear

Developing application-specific formulations requires experience plus a holistic understanding of the demands of end-use industries, plastics processing, and polymer science. Handling some of the most challenging and high-performance plastic applications Smarter Materials™ High Performance Thermoplastics: eBook

New material and design options give consumers more freedom than ever before. For example, consider the Airbump® plastic impact panels on the doors and bumpers of the Citroën C4 Cactus. Engineered plastic compounds that can meet or exceed the properties and appearances of metal are creating even more opportunities for plastic parts to take over as an incumbent material. 

Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of rubber, sponge rubber, plastic, and other nonmetallic materials. Many rubbers, soft plastics, urethanes and TPE’s are rated on the “Shore A” scale. Hardness is defined as a materials’ resistance to indenture.
