OVERVIEW
Farrprene IF402A is a soft, highly flexible compound for seals, grips and tactile overmoulds. Supplied as a natural filled grade optimised for injection-moulding, it pairs the soft-touch feel of rubber with the clean, fast processing of a thermoplastic - no curing, fully re-meltable scrap.
The grade delivers a tensile strength of 4.5 MPa, elongation at break of >800%, and a specific gravity of 1.11. A balanced melt flow (MFI 11 g/10 min at 190°C) suits a wide processing window. Heat Stabilized.

Typical average values from a limited sample set; not a formal specification. Request the signed datasheet for current values.
TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Flexible seals, gaskets and bellows
- Soft-touch overmoulds and tactile grips
- Flexible tubing and protective profiles
- Consumer products, soft-touch overmoulds and grips
- Construction profiles, gaskets and weatherstripping
PROCESSING
- Runs on standard injection-moulding equipment; pre-drying is generally not required for unfilled grades.
- Filled formulation tuned for cost-efficiency and dimensional stability.
- Colour-matchable and re-processable - production scrap can be re-melted and reused.
