Rotary Die v/s Rotary Platen Machines: In some cases, the rotation is built into the machine in the form of a
rotary platen on the second half of the press.
Most Dynaflex® (Styrenic
block copolymer TPE), Versaflex® (polar modified alloys) and Versalloy® (TPV alloy compounds are suitable
for two-shot or insert molding with a polypropylene (PP).
The Over-molding (Versaflex® OM Series and
VersollonTM which is a Urathane alloy) grades are specially formulated to bond to a variety of substrates.
