For many GLS overmolding grades, the use of a polyethylene (PE) carrier may adversely affect adhesion.
It is common practice to use two mold temperature controllers while running GLS materials.
The adhesion of GLS soft overmolding TPEs to a substrate may be affected by:

Regulatory compliance for aqueous, acidic, alcohol and fatty food applications are available with GLS thermoplastic elastomers.
GLS and Kautex Machines, a leader in extrusion blow-molding equipment, jointly developed a solution for co-extruding an ultra-thin outer layer of translucent, customized Dynalloy™ TPE onto recycled or virgin HDPE resin.

The Avient team assessed the application’s technical and operational requirements, and recommended a GLS™ Versalloy™ alloy in 45 Shore A durometer, an FDA-compliant medical TPV grade designed for overmolding onto PP.
Ultimately, the transition to the GLS TPV proved to be a smooth one for the manufacturer.

GLS produces standard products ranging in hardness from 3 Shore A (softest) to 95 Shore A (hardest).
GLS reports hardness values utilizing the 10 second reading.
