The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate, or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE. Design Considerations The material requirements of bondable TPE’s are different from conventional TPE’s and it is the same for designing parts. Prevent the TPE from flashing over areas on the substrate. 4.

Generally, GLS TPEs will flow much further in thinner walls than other types of TPEs. Coloring SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs. Use a lower viscosity TPE.

VERSAFLEX™ CE TPEs FOR 5G TRANSPARENCY Rapidly expanding 5G networks are increasing performance requirements across the consumer electronics industry. These 5G transparent TPEs combine the excellent physical properties, aesthetics and UV resistance qualities of traditional TPEs with lower dielectric constant (Dk) and dissipation factor (Df) performance, resulting in an advanced material solution with less signal degradation for next-generation devices.
