The FAQs about TPE materials
TPE is processed by overmolding injection bonding, common products include handles, grips, electronic materials, etc.
High-transparency TPE materials have different product properties when used in different applications. Thermoplastic elastomer, also known as TPE material, transparent TPE not only has the processing properties of thermoplastic plastics, but also has the physical properties of vulcanized rubber. This is the so-called advantageous combination of plastic and rubber. Transparent TPE is widely used in people's daily life and production.
The thickness of TPE/TPR overmolding layer. In most overmolding applications, a wall thickness range of 1.5-3.0mm will ensure good adhesion. If the TPE layer is too thin, injection molding is more difficult, adhesion strength is lower, and hand feel is poor. If the TPE layer is too thick, on one hand cost is higher, on the other hand defects such as shrinkage and bubbles may occur.

The material gives the product a comfortable touch, improves grip, enhances product aesthetics and added value. Most products are exported to developed countries and regions such as the United States, Japan, and the European Union.

With the rapid development of the TPE elastomer industry in recent years, <\/p>
The transparent grade is divided into transparent and translucent series, each with various hardness levels; excellent transparency; smooth and soft surface; good anti-yellowing performance, tear resistance, good tensile strength; meets environmental requirements; suitable for various transparent series products. <\/p>
SEBS is the product of hydrogenation of SBS. SEBS has a saturated molecular structure, which makes its properties very different. It has the necessary anti-aging, anti-yellowing properties for producing transparent TPE, and also contributes to excellent high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. This is how transparent TPE is made. <\/p> Thermoplastic elastomer TPR

The application of TPE overmolding secondary injection molding is also becoming more mature. After introducing soft TPE elastomer material, many hard plastic products have improved touch, grip, aesthetics and other functional properties.

For overmolding nylon with ordinary injection molding machine, it is recommended before overmolding: <\/p>
Transparent TPE is used in appliance housings, handles and grips, etc. It shows very good hand feel, anti-slip and labor-saving, easy to color and process, and has a wide design space. <\/p>
Transparent TPE is used in stationery, sports equipment, etc. It has good UV resistance, chemical resistance, and is easy to color and process. <\/p> Thermoplastic elastomer TPR

First preheat and bake the nylon part, because nylon has strong water absorption, and overmolding requires higher molding temperature; preheating before overmolding can remove moisture, facilitating rapid hot overmolding.
