almaak and HEXPOL TPE Collaborate on 2K Adhesion-Synchronised Materials

Asthe plastics industry meetsatFakuma2023, the polymer compounders almaakinternational and HEXPOL TPE announceda partnershipoptimising2K material combinationstailoredfor automotive.

TPEmaterials are used for two-shot or overmouldingsoft-touch overlays onto rigid substratesto meetfunctional, ergonomicor aestheticrequirements.The adhesion of standard TPE is limited to olefin-based substrates like polypropylene, which have limitations regardingheat and rigidity performance. However, chemically modified TPEsallow adhesion toa much wider range of engineering thermoplastics. Enhancing property characteristics to meet more demanding componentrequirements.
