On Tuesday May 21 at 10:00 am, John Scoarste, senior application development manager at PolyOne, will present, “Thermoplastic Elastomer Healthcare Material Selection – It Is More Than Just Materials.”

Table 1 summarizes the physical properties of GLS TPS suitable for overmolding. Table 2 lists the GLS TPE products that were developed to overmold onto different substrates along with their adhesion test data.
