Tronomer compounds :
Tronomer compounds are high performance thermoplastic elastomers designed specifically for the production of molded and extruded products on conventional thermoplastic processing equipment and do not require vulcunization. It can be seen in the numerous processing techniques in which it is used: injection moulding, blow moulding, compression molding, extrusion. In all of these processes, Tronomer scrap can be recycled without loss of its physical properties.
Bonding and Substrate Considerations :
Design engineers choose TPEs for improved ergonomics, enhanced grip performance, improved aesthetics, and critical impact protection. Applications that benefit from TPE overmolds range from consumer goods to medical instruments to industrial tools and can include knobs, handles, gaskets, seals and grips.
Benefits of Overmolding
With improvements in TPE materials technology, overmolded part designs have become less dependent on mechanical interlocks to hold a TPE in place. Chemical bonds between TPE and rigid materials offer improved part integrity and longevity while eliminating the need for adhesives or surface pre-treatments. System performance can be further optimized by including both chemical and mechanical bonds in the part design. The net benefit is greatly expanded design freedom.
Chemical Bonds in Overmolding
• Improve Product Function
• Expand Product Differentiation
• Enable Design Innovation
• Increase Product Margins
