In both cases, our experts helped innovative customers replace metal with specialty polymer formulations that can conduct heat, provide electrical insulation, or conduct electricity,” commented Holger Kronimus, vice president Europe, PolyOne Corporation.

In automotive applications, there is a demand for alternative materials to improve interior air quality and reduce carbon footprint. Complet™ REC solutions provide long fiber-reinforced composites are now available in recycled nylon and TPU formulations  Edgetek™ PKE NHFR formulations are polyketone grades with non-halogen flame retardants specifically designed for electric vehicle components, including connectors

This mixture will allow for a flat to the shirt foil application that is supple. Generally when working with Foil and Flock, use lower pressure, less dwell time on the heat press application. Be sure to review the product bulletin prior to testing and that you’re getting 320F at the ink film on the shirt when fusing in your dryer.

Technical Bulletins Thickness in Overmold Applications Part thickness plays an important part in the perceived hardness of a given application, and this TPE Tip provides the basics for understanding the concepts involved.
