Most Dynaflex® (Styrenic
block copolymer TPE), Versaflex® (polar modified alloys) and Versalloy® (TPV alloy compounds are suitable
for two-shot or insert molding with a polypropylene (PP).
As an example, a styrenic TPE or an olefinic TPE molded on to polypropylene as the
substrate can have an interface.
TPEs in
Table 4 are styrenic materials where as TPVs are the dynamic vulcanizates of polypropylene and EPDM.
