Soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) overmolded onto a lightweight paddleshaft made of Avient’s advanced composite materials can help add to the experience and avoid annoyances such as blisters. BRINGING SOFTNESS TO A ROUGH RIDE SENSORY EXPERIENCE Copyright © 2020, Avient Corporation.

Material Selection The most common word used to describe a soft touch overmold is “feel” — but the term itself is very difficult to describe. Thickness Effects When choosing a soft touch TPE, designers usually ask for the softest material available. Thickness Effects When choosing a soft touch TPE, designers usually ask for the softest material available.

LSR will yield either a dry, slippery surface or a soft, rubbery feel not unlike that of human skin. Adding surface texture can make harder grade TPEs feel softer to the touch, so your product can benefit from both qualities. Both TPEs and LSR can be used to add a soft grip on top of a hard substrate.

Ergonomic Enhancements TPE soft grips can also optimize medical practitioners’ control of surgical instruments during procedures and protect expensive handheld diagnostic devices. By choosing TPEs, manufacturers can achieve the desirable flexibility, low modulus, and soft touch properties of vulcanized rubber, while adding processing advantages and the potential for recycling.

Gravi-Tech REC recycled grades enable visual surface effects and aesthetics including metallic finish, cool touch and color variation, suitable for applications in packaging and consumer goods such as cosmetic caps and closures, perfume caps, spirit bottle caps and luxury boxes. Provides visual surface effects, aesthetics and cool touch
