In addition,
shrinkage of both the TPE and substrate should be considered
In addition,
shrinkage of both the TPE and substrate should be considered
In addition, a rough EDM or sandblast finish should be used for the runners and a
polished finish for the sucker pins.

It is also possible to add additional surface texture to a finished product
by bead-blasting or chemically texturing the mold used in processing the
material.
With the right additives, TPEs can also hold up to UV.

A
combination of novel material technology, part and tool design as well as innovations in overmolding technology
will continue to fuel the imagination of the designer community to meet the everdemanding needs in
ergonomics, aesthetics and value addition in the consumer market.
In addition the
diffusion, viscoelastic properties of the elastomer have an influence on the adhesion properties as well.

Short Shot
• Not enough material is being injected into the mold to fill out all of the cavities
Root cause: Not enough plastic is getting into the cavity .
It
provides additional mixing to the melt, which is
especially helpful when using colorants .
