In this video, you can learn more about the manufacturing differences between spin-dyeing and bath-dyeing.
The color is embedded into the polyester fibers during the spin-dyeing process, which means it won’t bleed out of the yarn when combined with other colored yarns, including light and white ones.

However, these high-
heat materials require much higher mold and melt temperatures than
typical plastics such as polypropylene (PP), nylon and polycarbonate
(PC).

The reported values are an average of three different adhesion tests.
Table 2 lists the TPE products that were overmolded onto different substrates along with their adhesion test
data.
For PC, ABS and PC/ABS, the adhesion values are plotted in Figure 8.
