Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films Versaflex™ PF formulations are specially developed for the manufacture of co-extruded surface protective films (Chinese language version) Read how technical expertise and broad TPE portfolio shortened the development timeline and delivered a durable performance

A new class of TPEs has been developed with the ability to bond to dissimilar thermoplastics, including PP, copolyester, ABS etc. Experimental Material Two classes of “universal overmolding TPEs” have been developed and used in this study. Conclusion Two classes of TPE formulations have been developed and studied for rigid thermoplastics overmolding applications.

Involving ColorWorks at the earliest stage of product development can simplify the development process, shorten time-to-market, control costs and feasibility, and manage global color consistency. Once the framework is established, the development process kicks into high gear, utilizing a comprehensive toolbox of cutting-edge technologies: • Mood boards for conceptualization • Extensive color libraries, both physical and digital • Rapid prototyping and sampling • Photorealistic 3D rendering • Accurate cost and feasibility assessment tools This iterative process allows for quick turnarounds and efficient approvals, ensuring that the final product meets all expectations. This collaborative design approach has been shown to reduce development times by 50% or more and generate substantial total cost savings.

Developed specifically for this application, the prediction method was recognized by the U.S. Cause-and-effect analysis of the adhesive bonding process gave PDI the information needed to develop a manufacturing process that would provide necessary bond integrity. Prior to development of this method, the discs were failing at 40,000 to 80,000 cycles.

The current paper introduces novel developments in this area. GLS has focused its R&D efforts on the chemistry and technology of developing overmolding compounds to virtually any substrate. NOVEL TPE DEVELOPMENTS: Non-Drying TPEs for PC, ABS, PBT and their alloys Novel classes of non-drying TPEs which can overmold onto a variety of engineering thermoplastics have been developed.
