TPE Overmolding Solutions for Engineering Thermoplastics Rajesh Varma, Applications Development Manager Dan Liu, Materials Scientist Walter Ripple, Director of Marketing Krishna Venkataswamy, Director of Research and Development Abstract Demands continue to increase in various consumer applications for ergonomically designed products. The new material can be colored and does not need to be pre dried before processing.

Adding to the complexity are the multiple parts and SKUs to manage.

THERMAL INERTIA Thermal conductivity has traditionally been the primary metric considered for material selection to manage heat.

KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Chemical resistance • Maintaining high impact performance at low temperatures • Low moisture uptake • Dimensional stability comparable to nylon • Higher impact resistance than short fiber alternatives • Eco-conscious alternative to nylons • More cost-effective solution than specialty nylons • Available in non-PFAS* formulations to achieve UL 94 V-0 flame rating at 1.5 mm MARKETS & APPLICATIONS These materials are for use in applications traditionally made of metal requiring moisture, chemical and cold impact performance requirements, including: • Industrial – pipes, tubing, fluid management • Electrical & Electronics – connectors, battery components, battery housings • Transportation – under-the-hood fuel/ chemical contact components, non-structural interior components • Oil & Gas – fuel pump components, fuel doors PRODUCT BULLETIN * Non-PFAS flame-retardant (FR) grades are manufactured without intentionally added PFAS-based raw materials.
