GLS™ TPEs - Overmolding Guide Delivered a formulation with good chemical resistance to oil in long-term environments and provided an easy-to-mold TPE and replaced TPU/TPEE with a better soft touch feel TPEs for Home Appliances

TPEs for Packaging TPEs for Appliances TPEs for Infant Care

GLS™ TPE PACKAGING SOLUTIONS CHEMICAL RESISTANT SOLUTIONS FOR COSMETIC, PERSONAL CARE AND HOUSEHOLD PACKAGING We’ve developed a line of chemical resistant thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) that do not discolor, etch, crack or delaminate. 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
