In addition, the material was engineered for good bonding and adhesion to aluminum closures.

Laser welding is a good alternative to chemical adhesives or mechanical assembly as it provides high-quality seams with minimal mechanical stress, no surface damage, and minimal flash and particle development.

If overmolding is not feasible with silicones, you can use surface conditioning, primer and adhesives to chemically bond LSR to substrates.
When properly selected, overmolded TPEs will form a strong bond (a cohesive bond) with the thermoplastic substrate without the need for primers or adhesives.
Another consideration is that recycling either material once it’s overmolded, whether cohesively or with adhesives, can be a challenge.
