Overmolding soft, pliable thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) onto rigid, plastic substrates yields many design options. The process creates a chemical bond between the substrate and the TPE, helping to prevent separation. Applied TPEs offer a wide variety of unique properties, including clarity, a gripping feel, soft touch, comfort resilience, cushioning, ergonomics, and safety, as well as pleasing aesthetics. Overmolding consolidates parts, which streamlines appearance and function while making manufacturing less complicated by eliminating the need for assembly and secondary operations.
