The market trends in combination with the innovative molding techniques have available has placed a high demand on thermoplastic elastomer suppliers to produce compounds capable of bonding to the different engineering plastics available. TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA), polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various rigid substrates i.e. For specific interactions to occur between the TPE and the substrate both have to come in intimate contact to each other and wet-out the surface.
