THE SOLUTION Working collaboratively with SurfCo and its manufacturer and processor, Avient set to work on developing a polymeric, wet grip technology. Ready for testing, the new material was subjected to rigorous environmental testing, including months of sun exposure and long-term placement in humidity-rich environments.

Comparing data from Table 2 and 3 it can be seen that the developed product perform at par or better compared to all other commercially available TPE materials in terms of adhesion performance. Table 4 shows processing conditions for the developed products along with the other commercially available TPE’s. Table 4: Processing conditions of all overmold compounds.
