Overmolding TPE compounds have a relatively low viscosity. ADHESION MEASUREMENT OF THE OVERMOLD TPE The bond strength between the TPE and the engineering plastic can be measured by performing a “90° Peel Test”. NOVEL TPE DEVELOPMENTS: Non-Drying TPEs for PC, ABS, PBT and their alloys Novel classes of non-drying TPEs which can overmold onto a variety of engineering thermoplastics have been developed.

However, the original TPE that the company selected caused issues during 2K molding. THE SOLUTION Avient was asked to suggest a suitable TPE for this application. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.
