They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.  Finally, further modifications enabled the material to bond sufficiently and be chemically compatible with polypropylene.

The most commonly GLS recommended color concentrates are based on polypropylene (PP) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Substrate Type - additives (glass-filled, mineral-filled, heat-stabilized, lubricated)
