Designed for cell phone and personal electronic devices, overmolding soft-touch thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are formulated to produce silky touch and tactile haptic feedback. Grades are available in Shore A Hardness of 32A, 40A, 60A, and 70A and offer optimized chemical bond between soft elastomeric alloy and rigid thermoplastic substrate. In addition to slip resistance, these strong and flexible TPEs exhibit microbial and weather resistance, do not require drying, and can be colored.
