Most packaging doesn’t take advantage of the sense of touch to make that connection, so adding color and texture with soft touch materials can help your package stand out from the competition on store shelves.

LEADING OUTDOOR PRODUCTS OEM P R O T E C T I V E P H O N E C A S E • Alternative to traditional PC/ABS for improved toughness and chemical resistance • Substrate must have improved bondability to a protective TPE overmold • Looking for a differentiated “feel” • Offered a proven expertise in selecting the right combination of substrate polymer, TPE for overmolding, and color concentrate for optimal processing and performance • Provided custom solution after collaborating with molders and OEM through on-site trials and troubleshooting support • Enabled the customer to expand their offering for the outdoor consumer market • Custom Nymax™ PA6 Formulation KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

Both TPEs and LSR can be used to add a soft grip on top of a hard substrate. Because LSR cures at high temperatures, using it as an overmold material in a two-component molding system requires pairing it with high temperature thermoplastics to overcome the risk of melting or deforming the substrate. One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%.

One proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers, better known as TPEs. Any unreacted agents must be washed away after molding the rubber part to prevent them from leaching into pharmaceutical products or interacting with rigid substrates. This advanced material provides cleanliness by avoiding cross-linking agents used in curing vulcanized rubber.
