FARRPRENE IF65A2

Enhanced Surface Finish and Tactile Experience

FARRPRENE IF65A2 offers superior surface aesthetics that meet the demands of modern industrial design. The material’s fine surface finish makes it ideal for products requiring a premium look and feel, such as consumer electronics, wearable accessories, and automotive interior components. The soft-touch surface, combined with anti-slip properties, enhances both safety and comfort in user-facing applications.

FARRPRENE IF65A2 Compatibility with Overmolding Applications

Thanks to its optimized rheological profile and excellent adhesion characteristics, IF65A2 performs exceptionally well in overmolding processes. It bonds effectively with substrates such as polyolefins (especially PP) and certain engineering plastics, enabling multi-material solutions where soft and rigid components must integrate seamlessly. This makes it ideal for tool grips, control knobs, and protective housings.

Consistent Processing in High-Volume Manufacturing

Engineered with production scalability in mind, FARRPRENE IF65A2 exhibits consistent flow behavior and short cycle times, making it suitable for high-volume injection molding. Its thermal stability and low shrinkage support dimensional accuracy and repeatability across large batches, reducing waste and improving overall manufacturing efficiency.

FARRPRENE IF65A2 Performance Under Stress and Aging Conditions

This TPE grade retains its mechanical integrity under a variety of environmental conditions. It demonstrates strong resistance to fatigue, wear, and UV degradation, making it well-suited for products subjected to repetitive stress or outdoor exposure. These properties make IF65A2 a reliable choice in markets where long-term performance is a key requirement.

Regulatory Compliance and Safety Profile

FARRPRENE IF65A2 meets key international standards for consumer and industrial safety, including RoHS and REACH compliance. Its formulation is free from heavy metals, phthalates, and other restricted substances, making it a suitable choice for applications in contact with skin or handled frequently by users. This compliance profile expands its usability across regulated markets such as healthcare accessories, child-friendly products, and food-grade packaging when paired with the appropriate certifications.

FARRPRENE IF65A2 stands out due to its engineered balance between elasticity, toughness, and process efficiency:

Comfortable Flexibility: With a Shore A hardness of 65, it offers a soft, user-friendly feel while maintaining resilience under stress.
Lightweight & Dense Efficiency: Despite being filled, the material maintains a relatively low bulk density (0.74 g/cm³), helping manufacturers reduce the overall weight of final parts.
Exceptional Elasticity: Capable of withstanding elongation up to 2119% (cross direction), it resists tearing and returns to shape after stretching.
Consistent Processing: Its melt flow index (9.91 g/10min at 230°C, 2.16kg) ensures smooth flow and minimal defects during high-throughput injection molding.
Strong Mechanical Profile: With tensile strength of up to 6.04 MPa and flexural modulus of 12.36 N/mm², the material offers structural reliability across different use cases.
Impact Resistance: Boasting an Izod impact strength of 13.26 KJ/m², it stands up well to daily wear, mechanical shocks, and user stress.

Why Choose FARRPRENE IF65A2 Over Other TPEs or Rubbers?

FARRPRENE IF65A2 provides a versatile, process-friendly alternative to traditional rubbers and many other TPE grades. Here’s how it compares:

Versus Rubber: Unlike cured rubber, this TPE is fully recyclable and doesn’t require vulcanization, allowing for faster, more energy-efficient production. Plus, any scrap from manufacturing can be reused, contributing to sustainability goals.
Versus Softer TPE Grades: Compared to lower hardness TPEs, IF65A2 provides a firmer yet still comfortable feel—ideal for applications where both user interaction and structural support are required.
Versus Unfilled Grades: The filled formulation of IF65A2 enhances tensile and flexural strength while maintaining a manageable flow profile for precise molding.
Versus IF65A: While both share the same hardness, IF65A2 offers slightly different processing dynamics and improved bulk density control, allowing manufacturers to fine-tune their production based on specific part geometry and mold complexity.

Processing & Sustainability

FARRPRENE IF65A2 is designed for easy integration into standard injection molding lines. Its consistent melt flow index ensures predictable results batch after batch, while its recyclable nature allows for sustainable production cycles. These process efficiencies make it ideal for high-volume manufacturing environments where uptime, quality, and material yield are critical.

Conclusion

FARRPRENE IF65A2 is an advanced thermoplastic elastomer that bridges the gap between comfort and performance. Whether you’re designing a new consumer product, refining automotive interiors, or developing resilient seals and gaskets, this TPE offers the ideal solution. With reliable elasticity, lightweight structure, and robust mechanical properties, it empowers innovation without compromising on production efficiency.

Let FARRPRENE IF65A2 be the material that takes your injection-molded product from functional to exceptional.
