Injection-molded polymers can streamline assembly steps and eliminate secondary finishing processes, such as protective coatings and paint, enhancing production efficiency. Engineered polymers and specialty composites are gaining popularity because they can achieve metal-like performance while providing design flexibility through injection molding. LFTs still offer the ease of injection molding, like short-fiber polymers, but the fiber length and type (glass, carbon, etc.) are key factors in the strength, stiffness, and durability of plastics.

A subset of samples was prepared utilizing a 2 � 600 (5.08 � 15.24 cm) mold, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness containing light stipple texture (T-2102) on the A-side, and smooth surface on the B-side (Industrial Mold and Machine, Twinsburg, Ohio). TPE samples were prepared by injection molding of 5 � 600 (12.7 � 15.24 cm) plaques, 0.12500 (3.175 mm) thickness using a Milacron™ Roboshot™ S2000i (Milacron, Batavia, Ohio) with a polished mold surface. The lightness (L*) values, green–red (a*) opponent values, and blue–yellow (b*) opponent values defined by the International Commission on Illumination (CIE) color space were used to identify differences in color, and the yellowness index (YI) was measured in accordance with ASTM D1925.

These novel thermoplastic elastomers neither require drying nor any pre-molding preparation such as preheating which is employed especially during insert molding. The testing is conducted on a molded substrate with a TPE skin insert molded onto it. Thus far, the insert molding data presented here is very encouraging and it is determined that these novel TPEs will exceed expectations in two-shot molding environments as well.
