Consider combining comfort with color and performance properties using enhanced soft touch GLS™ TPE materials for even better results. When overmolded, GLS TPEs bond permanently and virtually seamlessly to many different plastic substrates, including polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate (PC), acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), PC/ABS, copolyester, polyamide (nylon) and polystyrene (PS). A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference to improve the perceived quality or value of an item.

– PolyOne Corporation is highlighting materials, colorants, and expert resources for medical device housing and component applications at the MD&M West trade show this week. Overmolded thermoplastic elastomers: Versaflex™ HC solutions provide excellent chemical resistance to alcohol, bleach and peroxide based antiseptics, and bonds to chemically resistant substrate resins for superior adhesion and durability across a wide range of applications. Medical material selection: PolyOne’s distribution team works with medical device customers to provide a combination of resources, technology expertise and material solutions to help discover the ideal polymer formulation that meets their unique application needs.

MAJOR TELECOM COMPANY B A S E S T A T I O N P H A S E S H I F T E R • Required customized Dk / Df values tailored to a unique antenna design • Quick qualification of designs and short lead times were critical to support the rapid rollout of new 5G networks • Met required Dk / Df properties using two customized solutions offering Dk 3.6, Df 0.0006 and Dk 3.1, Df 0.0007 • Accelerated speed to market due to thermoplastics’ design flexibility Custom Edgetek™ Formulations KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

It required a high temperature and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile-butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin to deform. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications. The material helps the company produce attractive, high-quality garden sprayers featuring precisely fitting parts.

Aquarius™ Fluorescent Yellow Concentrate Aquarius™ Red B Concentrate Aquarius™ Blue R Concentrate Aquarius™ Fluorescent Red Concentrate Aquarius™ Orange Concentrate Aquarius™ Blue G Concentrate Aquarius™ Fluorescent Pink Concentrate Aquarius™ Yellow R Concentrate Aquarius™ Violet Concentrate Aquarius™ Fluorescent Violet Concentrate Aquarius™ Yellow G Concentrate Aquarius™ Black Concentrate Color Chips: Printed results may vary based on production methods, such as ink film thickness, opacity, pigment selection and substrate. Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

This page reflects the challenges and approaches that lead to a solution that utilizes ink formulation, print parameters and material handling. A tip—if the flash units don’t have temperature, time or power controls, use other tricks like distance between the flash and the substrate, index time on the machine or multiple cool stations.
