This method has mating plastic threads formed during assembly. Solvent Solvents soften surfaces of plastic (plastic must be soluble)—best for amorphous or low crystalline plastics, such as ABS, acrylic, cellulosic, PC, PS, PPO, and vinyls. EJECTION A method of ejection is needed for all plastic parts, this is due to the shrinkage seen in plastic parts.

We have modified the existing ASTM D903 method for plastics in order to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPEs onto rigid thermoplastic. ENGINEERING PLASTIC SUBTRATES There are a number of plastic substrates that are used for various consumer applications. A single TPE chemistry can not bond to all the rigid plastic substrates as evidenced by the surface energies demonstrated in Figure 1.
