Benefits of Shanghai Transparent TPE Suppliers

TPE overmolding generally uses a two-shot injection process,

The transparent grade includes both transparent and semi-transparent series, each with multiple hardness levels; excellent transparency; smooth and soft surface; good anti-yellowing properties, tear resistance, and good tensile strength; environmentally friendly; suitable for various transparent series products.

Due to the high light transmittance required for transparent TPE materials, the surface quality of the material product must be strictly controlled, without any defects such as spots, pores, whitening, haze, black spots, discoloration, or poor gloss. Therefore, throughout the injection molding process, strict and even special requirements must be paid attention to for TPE raw materials, equipment, molds, and even product design.

The pre-molded (injection molded) rigid plastic part is fixed in the overmolding mold, and then the TPE soft material is injection bonded onto the rigid part at a suitable temperature, and then cooled to obtain the product. The injection temperature for overmolding varies depending on the rigid plastic material being overmolded.

Overmolding POM onto POM. Although POM has a low melting point of only 180°C,

Transparent TPE is used in stationery, sports equipment, etc., with good UV resistance, chemical resistance, and easy coloring and processing characteristics.

Styrene-based transparent TPE is widely used in the footwear industry, largely replacing rubber; its use in industrial rubber products such as adhesive tape and rubber sheets is also expanding.

However, due to its high crystallinity, higher energy is required to form a fusion layer on the covered surface. At the same time, the self-lubricating property of POM is not conducive to the rapid coating of TPE material on the surface of the POM hard plastic part.

Juye focuses on the research, development, production, and sales of TPE toy materials and TPE soft rubber.

Transparent TPE is used in appliance casings, handles, and grips, offering excellent hand feel, anti-slip and labor-saving properties, easy coloring and processing, and a wide design space.

Thickness of TPE/TPR overmolding layer. In most overmolding applications, a wall thickness range of 1.5-3.0mm ensures good bonding effect. If the TPE layer is too thin, injection molding is difficult, adhesion strength is low, and hand feel is poor. If the TPE layer is too thick, it increases cost and may cause defects such as sink marks and bubbles.
