• Good abrasion resistance
• Excellent chemical resistance
• Nice surface finish
• Good bonding with flame retardant PC/ABS
• Provided a rubbery touch feel, chemical
resistance (including to ethanediol), and better
appearance than the incumbent TPV solution
• Eliminated a secondary process through two-
shot injection molding with good adhesion to
PC, ABS, PC/ABS, and copolyester handles
• Offered quick technical support to accelerate
the product development

In addition, several blends of the above polymers such as
PC/ABS, PC/PETG, PC/PBT and PPO/PS have great commercial importance for several applications.
Peel ABS (N/mm) 2.72
Type of Failure C/A
GLS285-085 is an overmold TPE which requires no drying and bonds to ABS, SAN and ASA with very good
adhesion after insert molding as measured by the 90° peel test and illustrated in Figure 3.
Optimal adhesion values are also obtained for
overmolds onto PC (Lexan), ABS (Cycoloy), PC/ABS(Cycolac) and PC/PBT (Xenoy) as demonstrated in Figure
5.

CONCENTRATE SELECTION
Omnicolor colorants are generally
selected because of their versatility
where a wide range of polymers are
processed and their availability for
sale in small quantities.
They will withstand the drying
temperatures of most polymers that
require drying before processing,
such as ABS and nylon.
