Or overmolding a TPE grip to hair styling products can contribute to an anti-slip surface, even when the product handle is wet. Striking Surface Feel: TPEs can be customized to provide surface feels ranging from grippy or tacky to smooth and silky. TPEs can provide unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged surface or even a leather look.

This laser enhancement additive works by converting visible, UV or IR laser light energy into thermal energy, creating surface marks that contrast the color of resin material. The cost associated with maintaining a laser marking system is lower than for printing systems, and laser marking supports greater design and production flexibility; changing a marking is as simple as pushing a few buttons on a laser marking unit.

If using pre-stir ink and printing on a hard surface, use a palette covering to allow for softer printing surface. Under-curing allows the fugitive dyes in the polyester to migrate to the surface.  Print on the surface of the substrate – do not push into the substrate

Appearance of finished product is affected by the smoothness of surface.. Surface smoothness of both injection molded and extruded products is affected by the rheology and interface shear stress of the system. A smooth surface can be achieved by using processing aid or special surface coated die to reduce the high shear stress.

They deliver compareable performance to prime PA66 glass fiber-filled materials, plus these solutions have excellent surface appearance and colorability, and lower warpage. Excellent surface appearance and colorability Offered better surface finish and sustainstable formulations for toy gun scope

Game changing concentrates for polymer parts create a metallic surface finish that truly mimics paint while eliminating the painting process. CLEVELAND – October 31, 2017 – PolyOne today launched OnColor™ Brilliant Metallic Colorants, a striking new line of special effect masterbatches that finally meet the need for paint replacement and premium surface finish. When molded into plastic parts, manufacturers can eliminate painting and its associated processing steps for lower cost and longer-lasting, highly reflective surfaces.”

They also reduce the frictional resistance of end-product surfaces, enhancing both appearance and function. Reduces frictional resistances of end-product surfaces Reducing the surface friction of PET gains process efficiency and prevents damage to containers

Improve surface appearance Eliminate noise between mated or in-motion surfaces Enhance aesthetics by reducing surface marring and scratching
