For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa.
The failure mode is cohesive on PP and adhesive on all other substrates.
TPE-1A adhesion values overmolded onto PP, PC and ABS over a wide range of melt temperatures.

Building on the design concept from SurfCo, Avient conducted additional R&D work to formulate a specialty thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that could be coextruded with polypropylene (PP) film and meet the high expectations of SurfCo and surfers everywhere.
The customized TPE offered excellent hydrophobic qualities and similar melt strength to PP while still maintaining its key mechanical properties.
