However, their adhesion on other substrates is
poor.
Adhesion
The adhesion between the TPE and rigid thermoplastics substrates was measured by a “90 degree
peel test” which is a modified ASTM D903 method.
The failure mode is cohesive on
PP and adhesive on all other substrates.

THE CHALLENGE
Facing strong competition from all-plastic garden sprayers,
a leading garden equipment manufacturer decided to
create a new, high-end line of sprayers featuring enhanced
quality, durability and aesthetics.
They recommended OnFlex-S™ K 65A-3E1709 multicomponent
TPE, which offers excellent adhesion to ABS and can be
molded at lower temperatures and injection pressures than
competitive products.
