NEW POLYAMIDE OVERMOLD TECHNOLOGY We have developed a universal polyamide OM TPE technology platform(4). Three universal polyamide overmolding TPEs are comparatively evaluated with two commercial SEBS nylon OM TPEs and two commercial TPVs. They are designated as below: Universal Polyamide OM TPEs: 60A (I), 60A (II) and 75A (III), Commercial SEBS based TPE: 55A (III) and 65A (IV), Commercial EPDM based TPE: 50A (V) and 70A (VI).

GLS™ TPEs with Antimicrobial Technologies This specialty line of GLS™ thermoplastic elastomers has imbedded antimicrobial additives that inhibit bacterial growth by 99.9% or more (log 3) and resist fungal growth to protect molded plastic parts. Tested against common bacteria and fungi, these TPEs with antimicrobial technologies have proven to protect the finished part from microbial and fungi growth on both textured and smooth surfaces. KEY CHARACTERISTICS • Protects finished part by inhibiting microbial and fungi growth • Extends useful life of finished TPE parts by controlling deterioration caused by mildew or mold fungus • Increases product durability, preserves surface integrity, and minimizes odors MARKETS & APPLICATIONS Suitable for high-touch surfaces and applications, GLS TPEs with antimicrobial technologies add value in the consumer, packaging and automotive markets.
