The elastomeric material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and subpar flow properties.
The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.

Ergonomic enhancement is also playing an increasingly important role in packaging applications, and TPEs can be used in coextruded blow molding to enhance the grip of bottles or can be overmolded onto caps, closures and containers to provide an ergonomic grip.
TPEs overmolded onto caps can enable an improved user experience and valuable brand differentiation.

Overmolding technology facilitates such a combination.
Although overmolding requires a new tool and sophisticated equipments, the demand in TPE materials overmoldable onto various substrates has significantly increased since the 1990s.
This test is done on overmolded plaques with TPE on top of rigid thermoplastic substrates.

They then modified the material to offer enough heat resistance so it could be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying material that provides the gaskets’ rigidity.
Overmolding capabilities: High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multicavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).
