GLS believes these factors all play a role in the decision process and should be used in your decision process.
For example, using GLS product XL9070 (SpGr of 0.89) and GLS product G7970 (SpGr of 1.18), both 70A TPEs, the mass of the part in grams is calculated as follows:

– PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers today announced the launch of an overmolding technology based on Versaflex™ VDT thermoplastic elastomer (TPEs), developed for vibration and impact damping applications.
Customers familiar with our Versaflex VDT material have asked for an overmolding variation that allows them to leverage the design freedom of two-shot and insert injection molding,” said Charles Page, director, global marketing, PolyOne GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers.
Additionally, the PolyOne GLS material is more cost-effective than self-adhesive vibration damping tapes and avoids secondary operations.

Properly designed deep undercuts are possible with GLS overmold TPEs.
Spiral flow testing results for GLS products are presented below using injection speeds of 3 in/sec and 5 in/sec.
Most GLS styrenic TPEs (Dynaflex and some Versaflex) have fairly high mold shrinkage and cause the overmolding TPE to contract more than the substrate, which can result in warpage or cupping of the substrate part.
