Specialized chemistries enable TPEs to adhere to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide, and polystyrene, for a seamless and permanent bond. For the manufacturer of a garden sprayer, a TPE increased usability of the ABS handle by contributing anti-slip performance even when the part is wet.
