Why Invest In PolyOne?
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/Novel_Thermoplastic_elastomers_for_overmolding_applications.pdf
The adhesion strength is measured by
the force required to pull the elastomer from the substrate which is reported as an average over 50 mm of pulling.
Apart from the degree of crystallinity, these polymers vary in their base chemistry, which dictates the surface
energy or cohesive energy density.
Broad processing speeds from 25 mm/sec to 75 mm/sec result in outstanding adhesion as shown in
Figure 6.
