GLS™ TPEs - Injection Molding Guide GLS™ TPEs - Overmolding Guide Guide to overmolding material selection, part and mold design, material handling and preparation, TPE injection molding, processing, maximizing adhesion and troubleshooting for GLS™ TPEs

Drying is not typically required for GLS TPEs. As stated earlier, GLS TPEs are shear responsive. Most of the GLS soft TPEs are either water-clear or translucent.

To meet the manufacturer’s goals for the mouse grip, a clear TPE overmolding material, GLS Versaflex™, was formulated for improved ergonomics and comfort, strong chemical resistance, and excellent bonding to the ABS substrate. Thermoplastic Elastomers: GLS™ Versaflex™ TPEs that are ideal for healthcare, consumer goods and cutting-edge electronics such as wearables

TPE Knowledge Base TPEs: The Basics What are TPEs?

Avient GLS thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) material specialists identified a current TPE within the OnFlex™ S HF, non-halogenated, flame retardant portfolio that could be slightly modified to meet the application’s requirements. Avient determined the TPE would perform satisfactorily at an 85 Shore A hardness level. High-flow properties of OnFlex S HF TPE allow the gaskets to be overmolded in multi-cavity tools (up to 12 cavities per tool).
