Thermoplastic elastomer.


Two thermoplastic elastomer product lines, OnFlex-S Series styrenic block copolymer copolymer: see polymer.  (SBC (1) (SBC Communications Inc., San Antonio, TX, www.sbc.com) A large, national telecommunications company that grew from a multitude of local and regional companies, including Southwestern Bell, Pacific Bell and Nevada Bell, into a single, unified brand by 2002. ) compound and OnFlex-V Series thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene.  vulcanizates (TPV TPV Temporary Protection Visa (Australia)

), have been introduced. OnFlex-S compounds are said to be ideal for use in soft-touch over-molding applications because of their excellent ability to bond to PC, ABS, nylon and alloy substrates, according to the company. OnFlex-S compounds are said to provide excellent elastomeric performance over wide temperature spans and broad hardness ranges (10A to 90A), as well as colorability, according to the company. OnFlex-V TPVs are said to offer a rubberlike performance, low compression set, high operating temperatures (up to 135[degrees]C), improved chemical resistance, excellent colorability and low odor.
