This abundant supply includes thousands of tons of PVB, found in the inner layer of the glass, potentially bound for landfills. Instead, the outer glass is recycled and the PVB is reclaimed and reprocessed for various uses, including an alternative raw material source for polymers. These injection moldable TPEs can be overmolded to polypropylene (PP) and come in a natural grade that can be easily colored.

In the first step, the first barrel fills the substrate set of cavities. Transitions between wall thickness should be gradual to reduce flow problems such as back fills and gas traps. This helps TPE flow into and fill thin walled sections commonly encountered in over-molding.
