The most common color concentrate carrier is PP because it is compatible with many commercially
available TPE products (for both single component molding and overmolding PP applications).

KEY REQUIREMENTS WHY AVIENT?

The new reSound BIO 2800 and 7900 series range in durometer from 30-70 Shore A and offer comparable performance, look, feel, and smell to traditional petroleum-based TPEs.
Eight of the new grades can be overmolded on polypropylene (PP) and the ninth grade bonds to both PP and polyethylene (PE).

Thermoplastics are used in various applications, including PP, PS, ABS, copolyester,
SAN, PC etc..
For example, a TPE that can bond to PC does not bond to PP, vice versa.
The failure mode is cohesive on
PP and adhesive on all other substrates.
