Table II lists the substrates employed for the overmolding of TPE-1 and the corresponding adhesion strength on the different substrates. As given in Table II, TPE-1 demonstrates good adhesion on all ten substrates with very different surface energy and polarity; from the low like PP to the high like PC and ABS.

Stiff and lightweight replacements for components like frame rails, battery trays and support structures

The reinforced grades are targeted at applications in the industrial, electronics and transportation markets like pipes and tubing, electrical battery components, and under-the-hood fuel or chemical contact components. 

They are specifically designed to carry the electricity harvested from solar panels to the battery that stores the energy.  

Batteries are getting larger and components are multiplying, yet engineers and designers are charged with fitting it all into compartments and vehicles that aren’t getting any larger.
