On the other hand, the designers didn’t want the typical look of a typical plastic interior. 

This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. The TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic was measured by performing a “90o Peel Test”.

Mevopur™ Healthcare Functional Additives Laser Welding Additives for Medical Devices Laser welding has become a technology of choice to join plastic parts of complex medical devices. Also known as transmission welding, laser welding is the process of using focused laser radiation to bond two plastic parts, one that is transparent to the laser energy and one that absorbs the energy. Please be aware that there are certain applications Avient’s Mevopur products have not been designed for, nor are they promoted or intended for use in: including, but not limited to long-term or permanent implants, birth control devices, or plastic surgery.
