Elastocon TPE Technologies Inc. has expanded its line of special STK series of overmolding thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds and concentrates for overmolding onto PC, ABS, PC/ABS and acrylic. The company’s new STK 50 and STK70 grades have a Shore A hardness range of 45 and 67.
Benefits of the new grades, all of which can be injection molded, extruded, blow molded or compounded, are their high flow properties to make them suited for complex parts or components that require protection, good colorability, aesthetically appealing surface finish and high impact resistance, even at low temperatures.
Applications can include — but are not limited to — boat and aviation products, recreational products, power tools, instrumentation and hand-held electronics where non-slip, soft touch ergonomics, UV stability and resistance to microbial growth and household products might be required.
