Polyamide (i.e. nylon) is preferred plastic in many high end applications due to its crystalline structure and high melting temperature. TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. We have modified ASTM D903 method for plastics to evaluate the adhesion of soft TPE onto rigid thermoplastic.

Fogging on plastics films is really not all that different than the fog that forms outside; it’s just that, on a plastic film, fog forms on a convenient hydrophobic surface—namely, the film. Water vapor in the form of tiny droplets condenses on a plastic film’s surface when an enclosed mass of air cools to a temperature at its dew point. But plastics material systems are dynamic too.
