Properly designed deep undercuts are possible with GLS overmold TPEs. Versaflex Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part.

To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate. This custom Versaflex grade provides 60 Shore A hardness and superior tear strength. Thermoplastic Elastomers: GLS™ Versaflex™
