Overmolding integrates Polystrand tapes and multi-
ply laminates into traditional thermoplastic molding
processes, such as injection and compression
molding, to create locally-reinforced, molded
components.

Traditionally, molding with short and long
glass-filled polypropylene to gain flexural
performance over unfilled polypropylene
also results in a loss of impact resistance.

For these reasons, it is often required to over mold TPE immediately after molding the nylon
substrate.
NYLON MOLDING PROCESS
Bonding is also affected by mold design and nylon molding conditions.
INSERT MOLDING
Insert molding data is reported in Table 3 and Figures 4 through 9.
