The substrates materials employed for overmolding were PP, ABS, PC/ABS, polyester, Nylon and POM.
Each formulation was designed to selectively bond to a substrate based on the functionality of the substrate material.
The bonding characteristics of TPE-2 materials to all the substrates were adhesive in nature.

Featuring excellent opacity and low-temperature (260-280°F, 127-138°C) cure bleed resistance, EPIC Single LC White can also help avoid ghosting on cotton substrates when hot stacking garments.
EPIC Single LC White can produce quality prints on all substrates without creating ghosting.

This is especially true for long, thin parts or parts where the substrate is thinner than the over-mold or if a low modulus substrate material is used.
This can be partially counteracted by using higher modulus substrate materials and providing stiffening ribs in the substrate.
Provide a spring-loaded area if the inserted substrate is metal or other non- compressible material.

The TPE family has adhesion on any type of polyamide tested in the study, including undried materials, making them truly Universal polyamide overmold TPEs.
Novel developments in thermoplastic elastomers have been driven by application demands that far exceed the TPE chemistry material selection Page 1 of 11 space illustrated in this figure.
The current paper offers a novel robust TPE material selection for overmolding on to Polyamide.
