Applications & Uses

Injection Molding

Injection molding

After drying is completed (refer to flash-off time / waiting time in the technical value table), directly mold the substrate with the thermoplastic elastomer. The time between adhesion promoter application and injection molding depends on process and environmental conditions as well as on the used thermoplastic elastomer and must be carefully evaluated. Any surface contamination must be avoided during the entire process. It is recommended to carry out tests for each new material or in case of material modifications.
