Colors will last through long-term outdoor exposure Examples of amorphous polymers are acrylonitrile butadiene styrene/acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ABS/ASA), polycarbonate (PC), polymethyl methacrylate (PMMA), and copolyesters. Color, material, & finish selection

CLICK HERE CREATIVE COLOR Choose Your Color Wisely Color choices have traditionally been limited for these materials because the high temperature required to process them destroys many pigments that are used in engineering thermoplastics. Using pre-colored resin, where every pellet is precisely the right color 2. However, these high- heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate (PC).

Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc..

In the consumer applications, the elastomer performance needed is processability, colorability and softness. New colors, textures, designs, comfort – these and more are all compelling reasons to choose a product that features an overmolded TPE surface. The consumers’ preference for a soft touch, "warm" feel and a personalized color palette drives the use of TPEs in personal care products.

It is more difficult for a TPE to form a melt bond with a semi- crystalline polymer, such as polyamide, than with an amorphous polymer like polycarbonate.
