In overmolded applications, the thinner the layer of elastomer applied on the substrate, the harder it will feel. Figure 10 shows the apparent hardness of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) with different durometers, measured at different thicknesses.

Overmolding thermoplastic elastomers

Throughout the show, attendees can also explore the chemically-resistant technology of Versaflex™ HC Thermoplastic Elastomers series HC3810. The wide range of translucent grades offers excellent colorability for injection molded parts and over-molding thanks to outstanding bonding to various thermoplastics, including Trilliant HC Healthcare Formulations. The TPEs are formulated without animal derivatives and are suitable for different Shore A durometer ranges.
