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

A Beginner’s
Guide to TPE
There’s a lot of information swirling around the internet about thermoplastic
elastomers (TPEs) and similar materials such as TPU, TPV, and silicone.
You may hear people talk about TPVs
(thermoplastic vulcanizates) or TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethane) instead of
TPEs.
In reality, TPVs and TPUs are both types of TPEs, and are two of the most
common.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-04/Versaflex TF TPE Solutions for Textile Fabric Product Bulletin.pdf
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• High-wearing comfort and elastic recovery
• Strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and
nylon fabrics
• Passed OEKO-TEX 100-2 testing
• Excellent washability at up to 60°C
