As shown in figure 2, in high shear rate regimes, the viscosity is at the lower end of the spectrum which helps the TPE to flow into and fill the thin-walled sections commonly encountered during overmolding. Furthermore, the material has outstanding adhesion to Ultramid B3G6 (glass reinforced polyamide 6) as demonstrated in Figure 10 and 11.

reSound™ NF reinforced materials are based on an eco-conscious, natural fiber-filled technology and are in current evaluations at several key automotive OEMs for use in under-the-hood, lighting, and semi-structural components.

Gating from the thickest area of your part to the thinnest area of your part is the optimal way to fill, and balancing your runners will create part consistency in all cavities.

Reinforced Polyolefins for Automotive: Maxxam™ LO low odor talc-filled polypropylenes and Maxxam™ XST thermoplastic olefins are the latest additions to a complete line of specially formulated polyolefins.

Here, Citroën developed air filled panels that repel dents and dings while adding a customized design element – fulfilling two key consumer desires.

This highly engineered, filled thermoplastic polymer replaces metal in electromagnetic and radio-frequency (EMI/RFI) shielding applications at up to 60 percent lighter weight.
