Performance Benefits
Tekbond® TPEs enable insert and 2-shot molding production of hybrid parts requiring distinctive functional and aesthetic performance criteria and marketing appeal. Tekbond® imparts durability and product longevity by incorporating over-molded elastomers onto outer housings. Similarly, Tekbond® can be molded into feature areas to provide anti-skid and stabilizing performance. Internally, the over-mold can be placed in areas to provide shock-absorbing mounts, at mating surfaces, to form integral dust and moisture seals, and at pivot points to form flexible joints.

Aesthetic Benefits
Tekbond® TPEs exhibit excellent surface haptics/feel from grippy to lubricious to velvety based upon your design criteria, further enhanced with mold texturing. With ease of colorability a variety of unique surface aesthetic effects can be obtained.

Cost/Processing Benefits
Tekbond® TPEs eliminate the need for adhesives, bonding agents, physical or mechanical interlocks or surface pre-treatment. Tekbond® TPE compounds utilize formulation chemistry to form extremely durable bonds to engineering resin substrates enhancing processability and productivity.
Tekbond® promotes design freedom allowing versatile cost-effective creativity. You can produce a product that is solid but provides a cushioning grip, or one that is durably wear-resistant but offers a soft touch grip with an insulating layer to reduce vibration. Being able to combine such a variety of substrates with overmolding functionality without intervening bonding measures substantially reduces the finished product cost.
