Versaflex™ OM provides greater design and good sealing sealing properties for vacuum cleaner gasket
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2020-10/tpe-injection-molding-guide.pdf
Specific Versaflex OM grades have been specially formulated to bond to PC, ABS,
nylon 6/6, PC/ABS, and PPO.
The Versollan™ OM series are TPU alloys specifically
designed for thin-wall overmolding (both insert and two-shot molding) onto PC, ABS, and
PC/ABS substrates.
For additional information about the standard Versaflex OM series
and the development of new TPEs that bond to unusual substrates, please contact
your Avient representative.
