FARRPRENE 20A

FARRPRENE 20A is a styrenic block copolymer thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) engineered for applications where soft touch, elasticity, and lightweight performance are key. Developed specifically for injection molding, this grade offers seamless processability and high-quality mechanical performance, making it a top choice for manufacturers seeking a balance between comfort and durability.

Whether you’re developing ergonomic grips, flexible seals, or soft-touch automotive components, FARRPRENE 20A delivers a smooth processing experience and consistent part quality—batch after batch. Its extremely low Shore A hardness rating of 20 provides the gentle feel required for user-centric products while retaining the resilience needed for long-term functionality.

In addition to its excellent tactile and mechanical properties, FARRPRENE 20A exhibits remarkable compatibility with overmolding processes, especially when combined with rigid substrates such as PP and ABS. This makes it an ideal material for multi-component parts where soft zones must be bonded to structural elements. Its high UV resistance and thermal stability further enhance its performance in outdoor and automotive applications, ensuring the material maintains its integrity under prolonged environmental exposure.

It also ensures stable cycle times during high-volume molding, reducing production variability.
FARRPRENE 20A maintains its softness even after repeated use, preserving user comfort.
Its non-slip surface texture adds safety in hand-held or wearable products.
Colorability is excellent, allowing for vivid and durable aesthetic finishes.

FARRPRENE 20A also demonstrates excellent low-temperature flexibility, making it suitable for products exposed to cold environments without cracking or losing elasticity. This property extends its usability across seasonal consumer goods and outdoor technical applications.

FARRPRENE 20A offers e xcellent chemical resistance against oils , greases, and common household cleaners, making it ideal for consumer products that require frequent handling or cleaning. This resistance ensures t he material retains its softness, color, and structural integrity even under harsh usage conditions, enhancing product longevity and reliability.

Why Choose FARRPRENE 20A Over Other Soft TPEs?

FARRPRENE 20A is specifically designed for applications where ultra-soft feel and elasticity are non-negotiable. While many soft TPEs compromise strength for comfort, this grade preserves both. It also offers smoother flow and easier de-molding compared to some other ultra-soft TPEs on the market.

Additionally, its superior elongation and compression recovery make it more versatile for products that must endure frequent flexing or stress without permanent deformation.

Comparisons with Other FARRPRENE Grades

Compared to higher Shore A grades like FARRPRENE IU65A or IF85A, FARRPRENE 20A is substantially softer and better suited for tactile products that require close contact with skin. It may not match the tensile strength or rigidity of stiffer compounds, but its comfort and molding ease make it the optimal solution for soft-touch and flexible component applications.

It’s also notably lighter, which gives it a distinct advantage in applications where reducing part weight is critical without compromising on quality.

Designed for Efficiency and Reliability

FARRPRENE 20A is tailored for manufacturers looking to optimize their production processes. It offers excellent melt flow characteristics—1.75 g/10min at 230°C under 2.16 kg and 0.93 g/10min at 190°C under 5 kg—which makes it compatible with a wide range of injection molding machines. Its low bulk density of 0.55 g further helps in reducing material usage per part, leading to long-term cost savings.

Make the Switch to FARRPRENE 20A

If you’re currently using rubber or conventional soft plastics, FARRPRENE 20A presents a smarter, more efficient alternative. It’s easier to process, more consistent in quality, and recyclable—providing both performance and sustainability benefits.

From flexible wearables to high-end consumer accessories, this material empowers designers and engineers to push boundaries without compromise.

Let FARRPRENE 20A be the solution that elevates your product to the next level of comfort and performance.
