Overmolding with TPEs gives consumers a better grip However, the original TPE that the company selected caused issues during 2K molding. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.

The tub features a custom overmolded GLS Versaflex™ thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and non-toxic PolyOne OnColor™ colorants. In addition, Karibu chose PolyOne’s non-toxic OnColor™ colorants, which are customizable and compatible with the GLS TPE material.   Because the TPE bonds well to the polypropylene (PP) substrate, the tub withstands repeated folding and unfolding.
