Based on earlier successful projects, the OEM design team turned to Avient for a selection of suitable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
A technical support team at Avient GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers conducted extensive compatibility testing to confirm proper bonding and overmolding onto the rigid substrate.

To enhance the performance in the end use application and marketability of such consumer products the use of a thermoplastic elastomers as an overmold, onto the engineering plastic has continued to grow.
This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys.

Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) are a diverse family of rubber-like materials that can be repeatedly melt processed.
Thermoplastic elastomers have rapid cooling times and do not require secondary operations or curing agents, which leads to quick turnaround and fabrication.
