Figure 18 shows how
Versaflex™ CE 3320-70 TPE resists staining from
rubbing against blue jean material containing dye.
Top 10 Rules for Overmolded Components
1. .Match the chemistry of the TPE to the substrate for optimized bonding
2. .For new component designs, flow ratios (L/T) should be between 80:1 – 120:1
3. .Incorporate air vents between 0.0005" and 0.001" along the perimeter and/or at the end of fill
4. .Incorporate good flow shutoffs to prevent flashing
5. .Add surface texture to prevent sticking and to mask aesthetic defects
6. .Use a rigid substrate for easy ejection from the mold
7. .Ensure the TPE layer is thick enough to ensure good bonding.
