Elastocon® STK56PA

Chemical Family
Polyamides

Elastocon® STK56PA a colorable thermoplastic elastomer that has been developed for applications that require soft rubber-like properties and a good surface finish. Elastocon® STK56PA is well suited for consumer goods and industrial applications requiring non-slip/soft touch ergonomics, sound and vibration dampening, improved impact resistance, and U.V. stability. Elastocon® STK56PA can be overmolded to polyamide/nylon.Elastocon® STK56PA is supplied as ready to use pellets in 50 lb. bag quantities.
