Trendwatch™ Overcoming 5G Component Challenges (English) Specialty Engineered Materials Overview Introduction to TPEs that universally bond to non-polar substrates such as polypropylene

And, because TPEs can be overmolded, brand owners and packaging manufacturers have new options for designing components that can be integrated directly into the package. 4345, 4355, 4365 4465 4570 4665 Hardness Shore A 45A, 55A, 65A 65A 70A 65A Regulatory* • EU 10/2011 Color Translucent Translucent Natural Natural Overmolding Bonds To Polypropylene Polypropylene Polar substrates Polar substrates Chemical Resistance • #1 for soaps • Low-cost solution for non-polar oils • #2 for soaps • Some oils • #1 for polar & non-polar oils • #1 for non-polar solvents, like isododecane • #2 for non-polar oils • Abrasion resistance * Regulatory compliance is offered for consideration only—limitations apply; please check with product stewardship. CHEMICAL RESISTANT TPEs ADD FUNCTIONALITY THAT BRINGS VALUE TO CONSUMERS • Chemical Resistance – Resists aggressive soaps, detergents, lotions, oils and solvents found in cosmetic, personal care and household products • Regulatory* – Compositionally compliant with certain FDA and REACH regulations • Value – Economical alternative to silicone and over-engineered medical grade TPEs • Easy to Process – Can be injection molded and overmolded right onto the substrate including PP, ABS, etc Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.
