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.
TPE-1A adhesion values overmolded onto PP, PC and ABS over a wide range of melt
temperatures.

These include PE, PP, ABS,
SAN, PC/ABS, PC, PA6, 66 and 12, cyclic olefins (COP),
high performance polymers, and elastomers such as
EVA, SEBS, TPU and PEBA.
APPLICATION PORTFOLIO DESCRIPTION
General use Opaque and transparent colors in PP, PE, COC, ABS,
POM, PC, TPU, PEEK, and more
Needle hubs and cannulae Opaque and translucent colors evaluated to ISO 6009
Ophthalmic caps and closures 13 standard colors in PE matched to American Academy of
Ophthalmology; biologically evaluated to USP standard
White pharmaceutical packaging White colorants for PE, HDPE, PP covering solid dose
to nasal packaging needs
Amber pharmaceutical packaging Pre-tested amber colorants
LSR silicones For LSR silicones and transparent color PET/PP (e.g. amber)
FUNCTIONALITY ADDITIVE PERFORMANCE
UV protection in transparent packaging Blocks UV in 290–450nm for PP, PE, PETG, COP
Processing aid/friction reduction Optimizes processing for PE, PP, ABS, POM—non-migrating
Nucleation for reduced material
consumption/cycle time
Improves thermal and mechanical properties of PE and PP
and allows wall thinning to support sustainability
Clarifying Improves clarity of transparent PP applications with reduced
migration and improved thermal stability—sorbitol-free
Laser marking/welding Activates the polymer to absorb Nd-YAG laser
for fast reliable marking/assembly
Gamma/e-beam sterilization Preserves the properties of PP and COP,
reduces yellowing and compensates for discoloration
Anti-static Reduces static buildup in applications such as films in
API handling and inhaler spacers/nebulizers
Antioxidant Provides thermal protection during converting/
downstream sterilization
Anti-counterfeit/brand protection Covert and non-covert systems
SUPPORTING SUSTAINABILITY
TARGETS
As the need to integrate sustainability in the design
of healthcare products is growing, manufacturers
of medical devices, diagnostic products and
pharmaceutical packaging are looking for
materials with a more environmentally friendly
profile.
The cycle
time in injection molding can be reduced (10–15%
in PP) to support higher output and less energy
consumption.

Available in four overmolding grades compatible
with polypropylene (PP), and one grade that is
suited for overmolding onto ABS, all grades are
formulated for durability, delivering property
retention and UV resistance comparable to
traditional TPEs.
