What your process engineer actually checks

Locked, traceable lot chemistry

Every lot ships with a COA documenting PSD, sphericity, flow rate, apparent density, and full chemistry — and a lot number you can trace. Aerospace and medical teams reorder 4+ times without re-qualifying.

Qualified parameters, not just powder

Validated parameter sets for EOS M 290, Renishaw 500Q, SLM 280, and our own AO Metal LPBF ship with the order. Load the profile and hit density on the first build — no parameter-development burn.

A materials engineer on the line

Questions on ferrite content, flowability, recyclate ratios, or HIP response? A materials engineer answers directly — not a contact-form bot. Most replies in under 4 hours, NDA standard.

About this product

Dynaflex™ G7980-9001-02 is an easy-processing, general-purpose thermoplastic elastomer designed for a wide variety of applications. This grade features a soft, rubbery feel and is formulated for overmolding onto polypropylene. It is FDA compliant, making it suitable for applications involving food contact, and offers excellent flow and processing stability.

Key Features & Benefits

  • Soft-Touch & Rubber Feel: Provides a comfortable, non-slip grip for consumer products.
  • Overmolds to Polypropylene: Designed to adhere to PP substrates for multi-material designs.
  • FDA Compliant: Meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for specific food contact applications.
  • High Flow (54 MFR): Fills molds easily, ideal for complex parts and fast cycling.
  • Recyclable: Can be reground and reused as a filler or reintroduced into the molding process (up to 20% regrind recommended).

Primary Applications

  • Soft-Touch Grips and Handles
  • Seals, Gaskets, and Weather Stripping
  • Household Goods and Appliances
  • Sporting Goods
  • Consumer Products
  • Overmolded Components

Processing Notes (Injection Molding)

  • Drying: Not required.
  • Melt Temperature: 188 – 227°C (370 – 440°F)
  • Mold Temperature: 16 – 38°C (60 – 100°F)
  • Purge: Use polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) before and after processing.

Same lot 4 times in a row. We stopped re-running parameter sweeps after the second order — density was identical to the first build.

Asked about ferrite content on a Friday. A materials engineer answered Monday morning with actual data, not a sales pitch. That's why we keep ordering.

COA matches the bottle. PSD and flow are exactly what was on the sheet — we run it on a Renishaw 500Q and it hits density on the first try.
