The barrel temperature of the injection molding machine was set from 180°C to 220°C (360°F to 430°F) and the injection velocity from 0.7 inch/sec to 2.0 inch/sec.
As given in Table II, TPE-1 demonstrates good adhesion on all ten substrates with very different surface energy and polarity; from the low like PP to the high like PC and ABS.
TPE-2 TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
