Ten Tips on Overmolding

  • Match compatibility of TPE and substrate.
  • Minimize peeling with sharp transitions in shut-off design.
  • Avoid trapping air in cavities via appropriate venting.
  • Balance TPE thickness with Shore A hardness for desired “feel.”
  • Maintain TPE melt temperature at the level that optimizes adhesion.
  • Dry moisture-sensitive materials.
  • Select color-concentrate carriers that are compatible with both the TPE and substrate.
  • Be aware of liabilities of smooth surface textures.
  • Keep the TPE flow-length/part- thickness ratio below 150:1.
  • Design gating with good adhesion in mind.
