GLS soft TPEs can be overmolded onto rigid plastic, metal, or other substrates using a variety of techniques, including:
Overmolded parts will take longer to cool because the TPE is only cooled from one side as the plastic substrate has poor thermal conductivity.

In each comparison, polyketone thermoplastics offer product engineers and designers a new tool in the product development toolbox for engineering plastics.
A noticeable difference here is impact properties, which are improved for nylons since water plasticizes nylon and makes them more impact resistant.
