Consider combining comfort with color and performance properties using enhanced soft touch GLS™ TPE materials for even better results.
In addition to their use in standalone applications, TPEs can be overmolded onto a rigid plastic grip in an injection molding process to create a distinctive, cushioned feel without compromising the stiffness and strength of the underlying structure.
A few grams of a TPE material can often make a major difference to improve the perceived quality or value of an item.

In many regions there are extensive rules governing materials and articles that may contact food.
Such regulations usually stipulate which chemicals are permitted to be used in plastic articles that will contact food, and may set restrictions on permitted use levels, or levels of chemicals that may migrate into the food stuffs.

For most plastic
materials, the runner size will be dependent
upon the flow characteristics of the material.
FOUR MAIN PLASTIC VARIABLES
Flow Rate
Plastics are a non-Newtonian fluid, therefore,
with a higher shear rate, the viscosity of the
material is reduced.
This rotation is shearing the material,
which is pulling and stretching the material
causing the plastic layers to flow past each other.

This page reflects the challenges and approaches that lead to a solution that utilizes ink formulation, print parameters and material handling.
In a plastisol type ink, the liquid plasticizers attract the dyes from the garment as they release from the fabric; the dyes essentially re-pigment the ink.
Dyes are most actively attacking the plasticizers between 280° and 320°F.
