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. https://support.apple.com/iphone/repair/service/pricing Overmolding Hand tools, smartphone cases and razor handles are examples of products that benefit from using a combination of soft and hard textures to improve grip, add tactile sensation or cushion impact. 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.

Relative viscosity and shear rate can be calculated using the equations below. 3 Fountain Flow Plastic materials exhibit fountain flow due to the high viscosities and high aspect ratios. Because this material has such a high heat transfer rate, it tends to freeze off quickly. This pressure is high at the gate area and low at the end of fill.

These include PE, PP, ABS, SAN, PC/ABS, PC, PA6, 66 and 12, cyclic olefins (COP), high performance polymers, and elastomers such as EVA, SEBS, TPU and PEBA. This is particularly interesting for larger scale production, where the impact of material use reduction will be more important.
