Surface energy match between the thermoplastic elastomers and the rigid thermoplastic substrate
2.
The matching of the surface energy of the known thermoplastic elastomers chemistries with various rigid
thermoplastics is illustrated in Figure 1.
In addition,
various rigid thermoplastics can have reinforcements and/or additives, such as fillers and fibers or color
masterbatches, which not only can alter the resultant properties of the substrate, but also the surface chemistry.

In addition, when used to produce easy-open
pill bottles in various colors that can be clearly identified, TPEs aid arthritic patients while they self-
administer medications at home.

Brand and product identification
TPEs can be colored to match unique colors for improved product branding.
Lastly, unlike vulcanized rubber, TPEs offer
nearly unlimited color choices for your products and packaging.
