Though the viscosity of TPEs are reduced when processed at high shear rates, TPEs must be “packed” into a mold to ensure complete fill-out. Because LSR cures at high temperatures, using it as an overmold material in a two-component molding system requires pairing it with high temperature thermoplastics to overcome the risk of melting or deforming the substrate.  Consider UV exposure when designing exterior applications, such as window seals and high-voltage line insulators, or items that will be exposed to UV sterilization processes.

Under the Remafin™ brand name, color masterbatches (color concentrates) are specially formulated for use in polyolefin polymers, including high-density, low-density and linear low-density polyethylene (PE), and polypropylene (PP). Achieves extremely high color loadings

High Solids Inks ZODIAC™ AQUARIUS™ HIGH SOLIDS INKS

High-Temperature Wire & Cable Solutions Achieve permanent, high contrast marking even on thinner wires

The hose manufacturer decided to explore other material options that would meet requirements such as excellent colorability, good surface appearance, high flow for optimal productivity, and of course, compliance with U.S. In addition to its excellent colorability and high flow, the Versalloy solution possessed a lower specific gravity and resulted in lower scrap rates compared to the competitive TPV, providing the opportunity to reduce system costs.
