PET
sheets can be used to make a variety of
plastic products and film is often used
for tape backing, plastic wrap, medical
packaging, and protective coating on
windows.

To reduce the probability of flashing the mold, the overmold should be designed
with the following guidelines:
• Provide a 0.015" – 0.030" (0.38 mm – 0.76 mm) deep groove on the substrate, along the edge of
the TPE overmold (Figure 2).
To aid in release,
the cavity or core may be coated with a release coating, such as PTFE impregnated nickel, after it
has been given a sand blast or EDM finish.

Mold Layout and Support
For multi-cavity tools, the cavity layout should be physically balanced.
Avoid lubricated plastic grade and do not use mold release spray.
