Versatile, corrosion resistant and conductive with excellent EMI shielding High strength with excellent abrasion, fatigue and chemical resistance High strength with excellent abrasion, fatigue and chemical resistance

Other requirements were abrasion resistance and excellent aesthetics. Avient recommended an OnFlex™-S multicomponent TPE, which offers excellent adhesion to ABS and can be molded at lower temperatures and injection pressures than competitive products. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.

It has good tensile, thermal, flex, and impact properties like nylon (PA), while maintaining the excellent wear, chemical resistance, and dimensional stability of acetal (POM). Polyketone’s chemical resistance is excellent even at elevated temperatures and long durations. However, it surpasses ABS, COPET and PC alloys.

ECCOH 5565 has excellent flexibility and environmental stress cracking resistance (ESCR), withstanding up to 20,000 flex fatigue cycles. It also has good temperature resistance, performing over a broad temperature range, from minus 40 to 80 degrees Celsius and excellent resistance to water absorption. These formulations also provide excellent UV resistance protecting outdoor/indoor cables from varying weather conditions.
