TPE Knowledge Base TPE Technical Bulletin Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs):

Safety factors, barrier properties and applications of TPEs in medical devices TPE Overmolding Solutions for Engineering Thermoplastics - White Paper TPEs with Improved Barrier Performance - White Paper

Overmolding with TPEs gives consumers a better grip However, the original TPE that the company selected caused issues during 2K molding. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.

The new material, a GLS™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) from Avient, met the rigorous needs of the high-end rifle manufacturer, and then some.
