The main focus of this paper is to introduce novel developments in adhering thermoplastic elastomers onto rigid thermoplastics such as polycarbonate, ABS and their alloys, polyacetal and polyamide. Overmolding TPE compounds have a relatively low viscosity. GLS has focused its R&D efforts on the chemistry and technology of developing overmolding compounds to virtually any substrate.

The page below summarizes the common overmolding situations for medical, universal, polypropylene, polyethylene, polystyrene, polycarbonate, acrylonitrile butadiene styrene, nylon and copolyester.

This can lead to the over-molding compound contracting more than the substrate after the part is ejected from the tool. Over-molding compounds have relatively low viscosity. The second mechanism is through chemical compatibility of the substrate and the overmolding TPE compound.
