For specific interactions to
occur between the TPE and the substrate, both have to come in intimate contact to each other on
a molecular level and wet out the surface.
NYLON OVERMOLDING TECHNOLOGIES
Relying on the presence of the polyamide structure in the TPE composition to generate a strong
bond when the molten blend comes into contact with a nylon substrate, US patents 5,843,577 (2)
and 5,750,268 (3) disclose TPE blends for nylon overmold.
