Bergaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer compounds have “rubber-like” properties with the advantage of thermoplastic processing techniques. They are available in a range of grades, including heat stabilized, transparent and flame retardant. A special range is available for 2K (2-shot) molding, giving improved adhesion onto difficult substrates.
Key Characteristics
Characteristics of Bergaflex compounds are:
- Good UV, ozone and weather resistance
- Good chemical resistance to acids, bases, detergents
- Low permanent set (elasticity) in a wide temperature range
- Wide use temperature (-70°C to 120°C)
- Wide hardness range (5 SHA to 60 SHD)
- Colorable with concentrates or as pre-color compound
- Recyclable laser-markable grades—FastMark®
- 2-shot molding or co-extrusion onto difficult thermoplastic components (e.g. PA, ABS, PC, PS, PMMA)
- Grades suitable for food contact available
