TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds
with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA),
polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various
rigid substrates i.e.
Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-
styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
Introduction
A wide variety of thermoplastic materials are used to make molded products.
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.

When exposed to a light source for 10 minutes, this
new generation of heat-preservation additives can
provide a temperature increase from 6°C to 12°C for
PET and PA fibers based on different let-down-ratio
and textile structure.
