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.

Let’s take a closer look at the differences between the thermoset and thermoplastic polymers that play a critical role in determining the performance characteristics of the final composite product. Thermoplastics used in making composites range from polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA) and polycarbonate (PC) to polyester, polyphenylene sulfide (PPS), and polyetheretherketone (PEEK).

The vast color choice in polypropylene is beneficial, particularly for carpet designers, who can now mix and match different samples under different light settings, offering a more versatile experience for selecting shades. It creates different visual textures that can look like one color when viewed from a distance but, when viewed close-up, can appear to have a grading effect. Light-weighting solutions that replace heavier traditional materials like metal, glass and wood, which can improve fuel efficiency in all modes of transportation and reduce carbon footprint
