Thus, one of the limitations for most of
the existing TPE overmolding technology is that one needs to develop and use different TPE materials for
different substrates.
As given in Table 2, TPE-1 demonstrates good adhesion on all ten
substrates with very different surface energy and polarity; from the low like PP to the high like PC and ABS.
TPE-2
TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.

In this video, you can learn more about the manufacturing differences between spin-dyeing and bath-dyeing.
The color is embedded into the polyester fibers during the spin-dyeing process, which means it won’t bleed out of the yarn when combined with other colored yarns, including light and white ones.

Cesa Laser Marking Additives can be used with
thermoplastics commonly used in vehicles
including:
• PP
• PC/ABS
• Polyamide
• Polyacetal (POM)
WHY SELECT LASER MARKING?
The mark can be white
or dark in color.

This
can be primarily attributed to differences in the
solubility parameters of the primary solvent/stress
cracking agent and the polymer itself.
It can be
seen that the PC/ABS and
PC/PET samples failed to
survive the disinfectant
exposure and produce a
testable sample.
With regards to PC
alloys, the general trend of increasing chemical
resistance was observed in order of PC/ABS <
PC/PET < PC/PBT, which was expected based on
previous research and the marketing literature of
PC blend manufacturers.4 However, the Edgetek
ET8900 series clearly demonstrated the best ESCR
performance against the household cleaners.

SOFT BASE INK
Zodiac Aquarius™ soft base inks are
designed for printing on white or
light-colored garments without
affecting the fabric hand feel.
The high solids ink range
consists of high opacity white and a
soft, flexible base to produce highly
opaque, soft hand prints.
DISCHARGE INK
The Zodiac Aquarius™ range of
bright discharge inks allow
printers to achieve bright whites
and colors.
