The demand for sports equipment is being further boosted on a global scale by rising awareness of the advantages of living a healthy lifestyle and the value of participating in sports and fitness activities.
However, Sports equipment makers know that durability with ergonomically designed is a vital attribute for successful sports products along with features such as rigidity or flexibility, physical appearance, and functionality. they need ongoing innovations and quick technological progress to keep up with shifting consumer tastes. That’s where plastic injection molding or over molding comes in, which can enhance the performance in the end-use application and marketability of such sporting goods.

The use of a wide variety of thermoplastic elastomer materials as an over-molding material onto engineering plastics as rigid substrates material to make molded products. It can be used to enhance many features of product design. Because over-molding is the injection molding process where one material is molded onto a second material (typically a rigid plastic). It can provide a soft feel and non-slip grip surface for improved product features or performance. It can also be used as an insulator of heat, vibration, or electricity. Overmolding eliminates the need for adhesives and primers to bond thermoplastic elastomers to rigid substrates.

While, with the market trends in combination with the innovative molding techniques available have placed a high demand on thermoplastic elastomer suppliers to produce compounds capable of bonding to the different engineering plastics available.

    As well as, Si-TPV elastomers with excellent adhesion performance on a range of substrates, the products also demonstrate processability similar to conventional TPE materials and also have excellent engineering physical properties and acceptable compression sets at room and elevated temperatures. Si-TPV elastomers often eliminate secondary operations for faster cycle times and reduced production costs. This elastomer material gives an improved silicone rubber-like feel to finished over-molded parts.

Bond Requirements

SILIKE Si-TPVs Overmolding can adhere to other materials through injection molding. suitable for insert molding and or multiple material molding. Multiple material molding is otherwise known as Multi-shot injection molding, Two-Shot Molding, or 2K molding.

Si-TPVs have excellent adhesion to a variety of thermoplastics, from polypropylene and polyethylene to all kinds of engineering plastics.

When selecting an Si-TPV for an over-molding application, the substrate type should be considered. Not all Si-TPVs will bond to all types of  substrates.
