These reinforced grades are targeted at applications in the industrial, electronics and transportation markets like pipes and tubing, electrical battery components, and under-the-hood fuel or chemical contact components.

Match the chemistry of the TPE to the substrate for optimized bonding 2 . Ensure the TPE layer is thick enough to ensure good bonding . Use an appropriate gate size depending on the type and thickness of TPE .

However, the original TPE that the company selected caused issues during 2K molding. THE SOLUTION Avient was asked to suggest a suitable TPE for this application. For this manufacturer, another appealing aspect of working with this material was Avient’s dedicated TPE production line in Spain, which is used solely to manufacture TPEs for overmolding applications.
