Simply defined, thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a type of plastic that have been refined to create a soft, rubbery feel. Traditional TPE types are made by combining a hard material with a soft material, either chemically or by a machine. Chemical Resistance by Material Type

The Input Stream Management confirms that bluesign® approved chemical products and raw materials are used in all steps of the manufacturing process.  The plastic mass is then shaped into filaments, spun, and texturized into an already-dyed yarn.

Thus, a complete understanding of the TPEs, engineering plastics, and associated details about molding these materials is essential to produce high-quality finished products. 32 Overmolding Overmolding is the injection molding process where one material (usually a TPE) is molded onto a second material (typically a rigid plastic).

Consider combining comfort with color and performance properties using enhanced soft touch GLS™ TPE materials for even better results. In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure. A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference to improve the perceived quality or value of an item.
