GLS believes these factors all play a role in the decision process and should be used in your decision process.
For example, using GLS product XL9070 (SpGr of 0.89) and GLS product G7970 (SpGr of 1.18), both 70A TPEs, the mass of the part in grams is calculated as follows:

Properly designed deep undercuts are possible with GLS overmold TPEs.
Spiral flow testing results for GLS products are presented below using injection speeds of 3 in/sec and 5 in/sec.
Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part.

To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate.
A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.
