Rigid thermoplastics include both commodity thermoplastics and engineering thermoplastics, such as polypropylene (PP), polystyrene (PS), high impact polystyrene (HIPS), polycarbonate (PC), acrynitrile-butadiene-styrene (ABS), poly(ethylene terephthalate) (PET), poly(methylmethacrylate) (PMMA), styrene acrylonitrile (SAN), poly(phenylene oxide) (PPO), polyamide (PA), PC/ABS blend and PPO/PS blend etc.. These TPEs have exhibited good adhesion on various substrates including PP, PS, HIPS, PMMA, PC, PET, ABS, PC/ABS and Copolyester.
