Durable TPE Technology

OnFlex™ Thermoplastic Elastomers

Built to Last

Dedicated to a variety of demanding applications in transportation (automotive), building and construction, and industrial markets, OnFlex™ thermoplastic elastomers are formulated for durability. With excellent mechanical properties, these TPEs offer UV resistance, low compression set, flame retardance, and weatherability. Built to last, they withstand chemicals, high temperatures, and abrasion over time. Notably, grades specified for automotive interiors meet Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standards with their low VOC / FOG and odor properties.
