BACKGROUND ADHESION MECHANISM Adhesion principles between thermoplastic elastomer and the rigid substrate are governed by three very important molecular factors which are the foundation of science behind good adhesive behavior. 1. In some instances, good bonding exists even in the mechanism of adhesive failure. The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE.

Versollan™ Thermoplastic Elastomers achieved excellent adhesion and improved aesthetics and usability for compartment cover Versollan™ TPEs  were able to provide good adhesion to PCTG and a comfortable, ergonomic grip for a compression controller housing grip Guide to overmolding material selection, part and mold design, material handling and preparation, TPE injection molding, processing, maximizing adhesion and troubleshooting for GLS™ TPEs

Cohesive (C) or adhesive (A). The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE. Based on adhesion strength required by the consumer we have categorized an adhesion value higher than 12 pli to be acceptable for adhesion.
