Unique Advantages and Wide Applications of TPE Overmolding Materials
Time of issue:2024-08-23
I. Unique Advantages of TPE Overmolding Materials:
-
Processable with standard thermoplastic plastic molding machines, eliminating the need for specialized equipment.
-
Facilitates recycling, reducing costs. Scrap materials (flash edges, extrusion waste) and final rejects can be directly repurposed. Used TPE products can be easily regenerated for reuse, minimizing environmental impact and expanding renewable resource sources.
-
Utilizes conventional plastic processing methods such as injection molding and extrusion.
-
As a modified material, TPE soft rubber can be tailored to various hardnesses and physical properties through formula adjustments.
-
Offers superior soft touch and slip resistance, coupled with excellent elastic feel. Ideal for secondary injection molding, adhering well to hard plastics like PP, ABS, PA, PC, enhancing grip and usability in daily products, sports equipment, and hardware tool handles.
-
Resilient to wear, scratches, aging, chemicals, exhibits electrical insulation, UV resistance, weatherability, acid/alkali resistance, low-temperature tolerance, slip resistance, and shock absorption.
-
Produces no harmful emissions during combustion and allows for repeated use and recycling of trimmings and scraps.
-
Offers a broad hardness range, easy coloration, and aesthetically pleasing, vibrant products.
-
Environmentally friendly and non-toxic, with available eco-friendly test reports.
-
Product specifications range from 30 to 100A.
II. Key Advantages of TPE-Coated Products:
-
Soft and comfortable grip.
-
Dampening effect upon vibration.
-
Optimized human-machine interface.
-
Excellent grease resistance.
-
Strong adhesion to PP materials.
-
Non-slip handles suitable for both dry and wet environments.
III. Applications of TPE Overmolding Materials:
-
Daily Products: Handles for knives, combs, scissors, suitcases, toothbrush handles, luggage grips, utensil handles, doormats (indoor/outdoor), table mats, and other rubber products.
-
Tools & Materials: Handles for screwdrivers, hammers, saws, and other tools.
-
Electronics & Gadgets: Steering wheels, handles, mouse coatings, cushions, shell coatings, soft, shock-absorbing parts for gaming consoles, and other electronic devices.
-
Sports Equipment: Handles for golf clubs, sports rackets, bicycles, skiing, and water sports gear, diving equipment (fins, masks, snorkels, flashlights), sports pads, and bicycle grips.
