Avient is a recognized leader in the overmoldingof thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), offering excellent adhesion to substrates like polypropylene, polyethylene, PC, ABS, acetal, and nylon. Our innovative TPE technologies ensure optimal adhesion in both insert and two-shot molding processes. Factors Affecting Adhesion

Cohesive (C) or adhesive (A). The adhesion is categorized based on adhesive failure (A)- if no TPE residue is left on the substrate or cohesive failure (C)- if the failure is in TPE. Based on adhesion strength required by the consumer we have categorized an adhesion value higher than 12 pli to be acceptable for adhesion.

The company tried several TPE grades, hoping to find a material that would eliminate the adhesion problem while providing comparable softness to silicone. The manufacturer worked with Avient to formulate a custom Versaflex™ TPE that featured a low durometer with excellent resistance to adhesion (sticking). Armed with a new specialty TPE solution, the medical manufacturer handled gasket adhesion with a material that outperformed that not only silicone, but also conventional TPEs.
