When conventional thermoplastics can’t measure up, high-performance thermoplastics can meet the most stringent requirements. Which types of applications call for high-performance thermoplastics? CRITICAL DIFFERENCES What Makes High-Performance Thermoplastics Stand Out?

Home // Products // Thermoplastic Elastomers // TPE Knowledge Center // Injection Molding Guide // Injection Molding: Mold Processing // Injection Molding: Mold Processing For soft SEBS formulations low-density polyethylene (LDPE) or ethylene vinyl acetate copolymer (EVA) have been used. GLS TPEs have lower viscosity (higher flow) than traditional thermoplastics and will leak back easier than other materials.

The choice of the thermoplastic depends on the functional performance needed in the end-use application. However, most of the combinations were limited to hard thermoplastics only. This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
