Overmolding of Thermoplastic Elastomers: Engineered solutions for consumer product differentiation Krishna Venkataswamy, Rajesh Varma and Walter Ripple, Thermoplastic Elastomers Division,GLS Corporation, 833, Ridgeview Drive, McHenry, IL 60050 Introduction Overmolding Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) has come of age. TPEs provide a number of benefits to address these market trends such as a soft-touch, non-slip grip, while maintaining required performance properties such as good oil/grease resistance, toughness, abrasion resistance, and vibration damping. Figure 9: TPE Overmold creates value in Hand Tools Ergonomics Electronics/Office Equipment: TPE overmolding in this market area is growing at a rapid rate.
