Thermoplastic chemistry enables CFRTP
composites to be incorporated into high volume
manufacturing processes such as compression and
injection molding as well as into structures with
dissimilar materials via overmolding, adhesive
bonding, and thermal lamination.
KEY CHARACTERISTICS
• Lightweight
• High strength & stiffness
• Excellent fatigue & impact resistance
• Exceptional strength-to-weight ratio
• Strong adhesive properties
• Chemical and corrosion resistance
• Reduced NVH compared to metals
• Rapid cycle times
• Low VOCs
VALUE SOLUTION
• Replaces metal without sacrificing strength
• Reduced vehicle weight improves fuel
economy, reduces energy consumption
• Selective reinforcement adds strength in high
stress areas
• Easily integrated & streamlined manufacturing
process
• Easy bonding to various materials
• Increases structure & puncture resistance
• Can be used in injection and compression
overmolding operations
• Enables thin-walling and material reduction by
adding reinforcement to traditional materials
• Able to be re-formed, reused, recycled
USES & APPLICATIONS
• Interior structural reinforcement such as walls,
load floors, headliners, door panels, storage,
storage lids, and trim pieces
• External body panels
• Front end and door module reinforcement
• Service access cover reinforcement
• Interior hatch covers

Protection against the Elements
For speaker gaskets and seals, Versaflex™ CE (40 Shore A) replaces separate O-rings with an overmolded, internal part that firmly bonds to polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), copolyester, or PC/ABS without adhesives.
It avoids a need for the cumbersome mechanical interlocks and primers that silicone requires for good adhesion to rigid polymer substrates.

The limitation for inks used to mark fluoropolymer substrates is that they have to be able to withstand high curing temperatures, as this is the adhesion mechanism.
This provides a very good adhesion to the fluoropolymer, and an extremely long-lasting mark.
