Certain specialty products, such as some Versaflex™, Versollan™, and Versollan™ grades, are hygroscopic, thus they need to be dried prior to molding.
SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs.

TPE-1A is translucent and TPE-1B is opaque.
TPE-2 TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
The results confirm that TPE-1A, B and TPE-2B are truly the “universal overmolding TPEs.”

The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate, or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE.
Design Considerations The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts.
Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate. 4.
