POLYAMIDE TYPE Polyamides are a family of semi-crystalline engineering polymers with variations in chemistries, melting point and crystallinity.
It is more difficult for a TPE to form a melt bond with a semi- crystalline polymer, such as polyamide, than with an amorphous polymer like polycarbonate.
This new technology provides a universal nylon overmold solution for polyamides and offer superior performance over other commercially available TPEs.
