Bonding of TPE with a particular polyamide chemistry is also affected by the additives packages, such as heat stabilizers, glass fibers, flow modifiers, impact modifiers and pigments. There has been a technical and a market need for a TPE which can bond to different types of polyamide chemistries from various sources which includes variables such as polyamide chemistries, additive packages, moisture content, post molding aging history and processing conditions.
