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.
Impactful Color: TPEs can be customized with bright colors and special effects such as glimmers, sparkles and pearlescents, as well as shine levels such as eye-catching high gloss, which conveys a high-tech, high-fashion aesthetic.
TPEs play an important role in this evolution by enabling designers to add ergonomic grips in appealing textures and colors.

Injection Molding - Thermoplastics
Injection molding creates molded parts by injecting
heated, molten plastic materials into a mold,
which are then cooled and solidified.
