Rigid substrates include polypropylene(PP), polyethylene (PE), amorphous polar plastics such as polycarbonate (PC), polymethylmethacrylate (PMMA), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene(HIPS), polyphenylene oxide (PPO), glycol modified polyethylene terephthalate (PETG), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), semicrystalline polar plastics such as polyester (PET, PBT) and Polyamide (Nylon 6, Nylon 66).
As an example, in order to bond to engineering thermoplastic, the continuous phase in a TPV has to be modified significantly.
We have modified ASTM D903 method for plastics to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPE onto rigid thermoplastic.

CESA™ Block additives modify the surface characteristics and improve the coefficient of the friction of the sheet or film, preventing self-adhesion.
The modification of the surface can be achieved without negative impact on the optical properties of the film.

The modified WHMIS regulation is now referred to as WHMIS 2015; which adopts GHS.
To control the impact of this decision, we generated many existing products’ MSDSs using the pre-GHS format just before our mid-April 2014 conversion.
No, GHS elements (including diamond shaped pictograms) are not to replace or modify how hazardous products are labeled for transport.
