 GLS Corp. has announced a special adhesion technology along with a unique formulation of TPEs allows a new shelving system to stick to almost anything, without using any form of suction. The material that makes this all possible, with some proprietary components added, is an alloyed blend of TPEs (thermoplastic elastomers). Increasingly popular rubbery, grippy, soft touch TPEs are used in everything from pen grips and kitchen utensils to power tools and thousands of other applications, with new uses being developed almost daily.
In simplistic terms, the technology is based on engineering principals
of friction, not suction, using levers which create force and friction
to proprietary grades of VERSAFLEX TPE alloy from GLS which are
overmolded onto polypropylene pads.
