PolyOne Versaflex™ 9545-1 Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

Versaflex™ 9545-1 has exceptional flow properties and surface aesthetics for a variety of applications. - Excellent Flow for Long, Thin Flow Paths - Exceptional Colorability - Overmold Adhesion to Polypropylene - Superior Surface AestheticsColor concentrates with polypropylene (PP) carrier are most suitable for coloring Versalfex™ 9545-1. Improved color dispersion can be achieved by using higher melt flow concentrates (with a melt flow from 25 - 40 g/10 min). Typical loadings for color concentrates are 1% to 5% by weight. Concentrates based on PVC should not be used. A high color match consistency can be obtained by the use of precolored compounds available from GLS. The final determination of color concentrate suitability should be determined by customer trials. Purge thoroughly before and after use of this product with a low flow (0.5 - 2.5 MFR) polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP). Regrind levels up to 20% can be used with Versaflex™ 9545-1 with minimal property loss, provided that the regrind is free of contamination. To minimize losses during molding, the melt temperature should remain as low as possible. The final determination of regrind effectiveness should be determined by the customer. Versaflex™ 9545-1 has good melt stability. Empty the barrel for idle periods of fifteen (15) mintes or longer.
