Design, functionality, asthetics, performance needs
and value addition have opened the rigid substrate selection from commodity plastics to various engineering
thermoplastics and their alloys.
Moreover, polar engineering thermoplastics have a propensity to absorb moisture which hinders the bonding of
the TPE.
Some examples of the chemistries of the engineering thermoplastics.
