Hard and soft combinations are also used for ergonomic considerations, for example hand-held electronics such as cell phones have used hard and soft combinations to give a soft touch feel to their product and to differentiate their products with their competition. Matching the surface energy on both materials is critical for building specific interactions between materials. The developed overmolds TPE compounds have already been used to make parts for a number of application areas i.e., personal care, hand held-electronics, powertools and housewares.

However, regulators are pushing for bans on the use of this material, especially in Europe. Device manufacturers will also experience a reduction in overall exposure to this material. Ideal applications include collimator components, lining for walls or cabinetry in X-ray suites, and enclosures to protect sensitive electrical and electronic components regularly exposed to X-rays.

This technique is best used on polyester or polyester-blend materials that require bleed resistance.

Our offerings include specialty engineered materials, advanced composites, color and additive systems and polymer distribution. Starting with raw materials, we source only the best polymers, additives, modifiers, fillers, reinforcers, colorants and pigments. Reducing weight in both small and large, combustion and electronic vehicles helps to improve energy efficiency.

Examples are additives for ink-free laser marking and adhesive-free laser welding assembly, chemical foaming agents for reduced material use, and solutions based on bio-polymers. Chemical foaming agents produce a cellular structure that helps reduce the weight and plastic material consumption for a more sustainable profile Mevopur™ Polymer Colorants and Additives

This makes LSR a thermoset polymer material.
