GLS Corporation, 833 Ridgeview Drive, McHenry, IL 60050
ABSTRACT
Overmolding of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for consumer applications has been driven by the escalating
market trends in enhanced ergonomic feel, touch, grippability, aesthetics and cushioning against impact,
vibration isolation and insulation.
