TPE suppliers have responded developing a variety of compounds
with the attributes to bond to several engineering plastics such as nylon (PA),
polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
This paper elaborates different TPE technologies developed to bond to various
rigid substrates i.e.
Nylon (PA), Polycarbonate (PC), Acrylonitrile-butadiene-
styrene (ABS), and PC/ABS alloys
Introduction
A wide variety of thermoplastic materials are used to make molded products.
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.
https://www.avient.com/sites/default/files/2024-03/Edgetek PKE High Impact Formulations Technical Bulletin.pdf
These properties offer manufacturers
a high-performing, cost-competitive, and more
eco-conscious alternative to nylons.
These materials also offer a sustainability benefit
through a reduced carbon footprint because PK
base resin production emits up to 61 percent less
carbon dioxide (CO2) than nylon, helping to improve
sustainability over the end-product lifecycle.
When processing,
these have similar shrink to nylons, set up quickly,
and have short cycle times.

apparel such as sportswear and underwear.
Compared to
TPU adhesive films and traditional glue, these new
TPE solutions can deliver a seamless and strong
adhesion to polyester and nylon fabrics, enabiling
a uniform thickness and overall appearance for an
athletic, close-fitting, and non-bruising finish.

• High-wearing comfort and elastic recovery
• Strong and seamless adhesion to polyester and
nylon fabrics
• Passed OEKO-TEX 100-2 testing
• Excellent washability at up to 60°C
• Non-toxic formulations with low volatile
organic compounds (VOC) and without added
plasticizers
• Attractive alternative to conventional TPU
adhesive film and glue
MARKETS & APPLICATIONS
Versaflex TF Adhesive TPE solutions have been
custom engineered for:
