TPE-1
and TPE-2 have a hardness of 45 and 50-55 Shore A, respectively.
The adhesion strength, i.e., peel strength, is measured by the force required to pull the elastomer from
the substrate and is reported as an average or a maximum strength over 50 mm of pulling.
TPE-1 and TPE-2 have a hardness of 45 and 50-55 Shore A, respectively.

50 psi).1 Use 50 percent to 75 percent of the injection pressure for the pack and hold pressure.
A GFRP usually is between 10 percent to 50 percent glass fiber by weight.
Experts recommend using inserts for large-volume production, and because a long dwell time in the barrel may cause degradation, use a minimum of 20 percent to 50 percent of barrel capacity per shot.1 Purging is also important.
