Recorded Thursday, March 22 – Presented by PolyOne

This Webinar Will Be Delivered In Chinese

You’re designing a portable speaker and need to know which materials will work best for your end product. Maybe you’re looking to waterproof your speaker with a low compression set gasket, or need to achieve a certain aesthetic look with a colored and textured overmolded speaker skin. Perhaps demand has increased and you’re seeking to lower cycle times, preferably with a cost-effective solution. Find out more about the material options available to you in this webinar.

In this webinar, we’ll explore TPEs and silicones to help you determine the best material for your portable speaker. You’ll learn what can you expect from each material, how to select the right material for you, and more, including:

  • Market trends for portable speakers
  • Where TPEs and silicones are traditionally used – gaskets, speaker skins
  • How TPEs and silicones can be processed
  • Benefits and drawbacks for both TPEs and silicones

在您设计便携式扬声器时,您需要了解哪种材料是最适合的。您可能需要一种低压缩永久变形的材料制作垫圈,为扬声器提供防水保护;或者您希望通过色彩明亮、高质感纹理的二次注塑外壳,为扬声器塑造夺目的外观效果。或许由于市场需求的增加,您希望缩短生产周期,找到高成本效益的解决方案。关于材料选择的各种疑问,您都可以在本次网络研讨会中找到答案。

在这次网络研讨会中,我们将为您仔细剖析TPE(热塑性弹性体)和硅胶两种材料,帮助您决定最适合用您的便携式扬声器的材料。您可以了解到每种材料的优势,如何甄选适合您需求的材料,以及:

  • 便携式扬声器的市场趋势
  • TPE和硅胶的传统应用范围 – 垫圈、扬声器外壳
  • TPE和硅胶是怎样加工的
  • TPE和硅胶的优缺点
