OVERVIEW
Farrprene IF852A is a firm, hard-wearing compound for structural flexible parts, seals and bushings. 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 5.5 MPa, elongation at break of >650%, and a specific gravity of 1.19. Its high melt flow (MFI 73 g/10 min at 190°C) fills thin-wall and complex injection geometries with short cycle times. UV Stabilized · Heat Stabilized.

TYPICAL APPLICATIONS
- Structural flexible parts and snap-fit components
- Hard-wearing seals, bushings and grommets
- Profiles and trim requiring shape retention
- Automotive interior trim, NVH and sealing components
- Household goods, handles and seals
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.
