Learn how Eastman and Lubrizol identified how specific processing variables impact the adhesion strength of overmolded samples produced through 2k injection molding. The findings are believed to be applicable across various TPE and substrate combinations. Moreover, the guidance shared is believed to be particularly of interest when mechanical interlocks cannot be used, and material changes are not feasible but improvements in adhesion strengths are desired.
