Compared to rubber and silicone alternatives they simplify manufacturing with single-step fabrication, reducing the energy used in production and can be overmolded directly onto non-polar polymer substrates such as polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE). KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Electrical resistivity range from 10–1010 Ω • Hardness range from 40–85 Shore A • Protects critical electrical components from EMI/RFI • Reduces static build-up • Simplifies manufacturing • Overmolds directly onto polymer substrates • Meets regulatory compliance requirements of ATEX and ESD • Food contact compliance grades are available MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Electrical applications that require a flexible material, and protection from EMI/RFI and static build-up.

Next, the materials team formulated a grade that would offer enough heat resistance to be overmolded onto polypropylene, the underlying rigid material. High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).

The following design guides should be followed when designing for gussets, and side wall bosses. Time Graph Design Guide 21 stresses. Design Guide 27 Blush Root cause: Injecting too quickly through the gate.

They can be used alone or in conjunction with other materials such as thermoplastics, wood, and metal, and manufactured with techniques such as overmolding, coextrusion, and thermal lamination to incorporate CFRTP tapes and laminates into hybrid, multi-material structures. CFRTP can also be molded on or into thermoplastic structures via hybrid compression and injection overmolding to create locally reinforced, molded components in a one-step process.
