Strong Adhesion
Shore 40A–90A
Applications
- Consumer electronics: controllers, earphone housings, handheld devices
- Home appliances: vacuum cleaner grips, blender handles, control knobs
- Hand & power tools: grip zones, anti-slip inserts, ergonomic overlays
- Automotive interior components: knobs, small trim pieces, touch surfaces
Typical Grades
| Grade | Hardness | Key Performance | Processing | Typical Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| TPE-ABS 60A Soft | 60A | Soft-touch, good adhesion to ABS, low gloss | Injection (2-shot / insert) | Electronics grips, appliance handles |
| TPE-ABS 80A Grip | 80A | High friction, scratch resistance, anti-slip | Injection (2-shot) | Tool grips, control knobs |
| TPE-ABS 90A Tough | 90A | Enhanced abrasion resistance, firm tactile feel | Injection | Automotive interior detailing |
Note: Data for reference. Custom adhesion, gloss level and texture can be formulated.
