Material Notes:
Versaflex™ OM 6240-1 is specifically designed to bond to a variety of standard and modified nylon materials, including those which are glass-filled, heat stabilized and/or impact modified. - Exceptional Colorability - Outstanding Adhesion in Two-Shot Molding Processes - Soft, Rubbery Grip - Very Easy to ProcessColor concentrates with EVA or LDPE carriers are most suitable for coloring Versaflex™ OM 6240-1. Typical ratios are 50:1 to 25:1 - loading levels should be as low as possible to minimize the effect on adhesion. A high color match consistency can be obtained by the use of precolored compounds available from GLS. Polypropylene (PP) based color concentrates are not recommended because they can significantly affect adhesion of the TPE to the nylon. Concentrates based on PVC should not be used. 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™ OM 6240-1 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™ OM 6240-1 has good melt stability. Maximum residence times may vary, depending on the size of the barrel. Generally, the barrel should be emptied if it is idle for periods of 8 - 10 minutes or longer. Drying is not Required Injection Speed: 3 to 5 in/sec 1st Stage - Boost Pressure: 300 to 800 psi 2nd Stage - Hold Pressure: 0% of Boost Hold Time (Thick Part): 0 to 4 sec Hold Time (Thin Part): 0 to 3 secInformation provided by PolyOne
