THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER FOR OVERMOLDING ATTRACTIVE, PRACTICAL HANDGRIPS ONTO ABS RESIN © 2021, All Rights Reserved Avient Corporation, 33587 Walker Road, Avon Lake, Ohio USA 44012 To learn more about OnFlex-S™ TPEs, contact Avient at +1.844.4AVIENT (1.844.428.4368) or visit avient.com THE CHALLENGE Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers, a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced quality, durability and aesthetics.
The use of 2K (two-component) molding—in which the base resin is injected and allowed to set up for a short time, and then is overmolded by injecting the TPE—streamlines the manufacturing process.
It required a high temperature and a strong injection pressure to bond to the acrylonitrile- butadienestyrene (ABS) substrate, which caused the resin to deform.

No matter which process you choose—assembling panels from aluminum, steel or wood; hand lay-up with composites; or producing panels using the vacuum assisted resin transfer molding (VARTM) process—throughput remains low while costs are high.
Our high fiber volume, glass-reinforced thermoplastic panels and continuous resin transfer molding (CRTM) thermoset sandwich panels can streamline production and reduce system costs by eliminating assembly steps such as welding, drilling, bolting and riveting.

• Meet targeted cost-performance requirements – The selected resin must offer significant savings over the current LCP/carbon fiber formulation through material and/or manufacturing savings, thus enabling penetration of the low-cost computer market with a competitive connector.
Working closely with the manufacturer’s engineers, Avient determined that the material required a special combination of properties: • A heat-resistant base resin that would provide the level of signal dampening prescribed • Mechanical properties that would ensure an effective electrical connection and at the same time allow for snap-fit installation • A cost-effective solution that would enable the manufacturer to compete in this new market Striving for optimal results, the manufacturer evaluated more than 30 different materials.
