PolyOne Versaflex™ OM 9-802CL Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE)

Versaflex™ OM 9-802CL is a clear, soft touch TPE designed to bond to the following thermoplastics: PC, ABS, PC/ABS and copolyester. New Product. Commercial specifications have not been established. - Excellent Adhesion to PC, ABS, PC/ABS, Copolyester - Soft Touch Feel - Water ClarityColor concentrates with Versaflex™ OM 9-802CL as the carrier are most suitable for coloring this product. If an OM 9-802CL based color concentrate is desired, it is important that the chosen color house have underwater pelletization capabilities. Typical loadings for color concentrates are 1% to 5% by weight. 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 lead to poor dispersion, loss of clarity and can significantly affect adhesion of the TPE to the substrate. Concentrates based on other TPEs 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) polystyrene (PS) or polypropylene (PP). Regrind levels up to 20% can be used with Versaflex™ OM 9-802CL 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.
