The bumpers were molded separately and then slipped into channels between the upper and lower housing components (instead of overmolding them onto the housing). Cost savings: Molding the bumpers separately and inserting them into the housing keeps costs down yet provides the seamless appearance of overmolding. Creating a two cavity tool for the bumpers saved PTA 70% over the cost of an overmolding tool, and reduced scrap rates typical with overmolded housings by 80%.

Overmolding with TPEs gives consumers a better grip To provide a secure grip for safety and usability, the company planned to overmold a thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) onto the handle and other selected areas of the sprayer. Gripping feel = safety and usability for customers: Hand grips created from overmolded OnFlex-S TPE provide excellent anti-slip performance even when wet.
