When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS).
A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference to improve the perceived quality or value of an item.

Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond.
TPEs can provide unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged surface or a leather-like feel for phone and tablet cases, as well as combinations of different textures that accentuate electronic functionality.
