ProFlex™ 050-120A by Foster is a SEBS (styrene-ethylene butylene-styrene) grade. It is a low cost alternative to other thermoplastic elastomers with superior elastomeric properties. Possesses vibration damping and insulating properties. Exhibits 20% lower specific gravity than other engineering thermoplastic elastomers, yielding more parts per weight. Provides design flexibility and resilience properties similar to thermoset rubber, while maintaining desirable processing characteristics of thermoplastics. It can be processed using overmolding. Suitable for use in conventional injection molding and extrusion equipment. Applications include non-slip, soft touch medical devices including handles and grips. ProFlex™ 050-120A meets USP Class VI biocompatibility standards.
