/PRNewswire/ -- Expanding on its global footprint and expertise in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) innovation and design,
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/resources/TPE_Overmolding_Solutions_for_Engineering_Thermoplastics.pdf
To enhance the performance in the end use
application and marketability of such consumer products the use of a
thermoplastic elastomers as an overmold, onto the engineering plastic has
continued to grow.
This is achieved by molding a soft
skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic.
The focus for this study was to develop thermoplastic elastomer compounds that
would overmold onto substrates made from Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC),
Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys.

Thermoplastic elastomers are classified by their chemistry 4 as follows.
The
tensile properties are typical for thermoplastic elastomers.

Thermoplastics are viscoelastic materials.
Rigid thermoplastic structures are overmoldable with softer thermoplastic elastomers to improve ergonomics or add additional impact protection.
As a melt processable material, thermoplastics are reformable and recyclable.
