According to the American Chemistry Council, plastic components make up 50 percent of a vehicles volume, but only 10 percent of its weight.

As new, agile players enter the competitive field of men’s grooming products, you need sparkling color ideas for your plastics packaging that will turn heads and say, “Choose me!”

This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. The TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic was measured by performing a “90o Peel Test”.
