Hyundai EP5065N/1002 TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application domain for Hyundai EP5065N/1002 TPE?

A: Hyundai EP5065N/1002 TPE is primarily engineered for soft-touch overmolding and functional elastomeric components in automotive interior systems, including control knobs, gear shift boots, and trim bezels requiring consistent tactile response and long-term dimensional stability.


Q2: How does EP5065N/1002 perform in terms of adhesion to common thermoplastics?

A: This grade exhibits strong inherent adhesion to polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE), especially when processed under optimized injection molding conditions. Bond strength to ABS or PC may require surface activation or a compatible tie-layer, depending on part geometry and service requirements.


Q3: Is EP5065N/1002 suitable for applications requiring low-temperature flexibility?

A: Yes — as a thermoplastic elastomer based on a SEBS matrix, it maintains good flexibility and impact resistance down to approximately −40 °C, making it appropriate for automotive interior parts exposed to cold-climate operating environments.


Q4: What processing methods are recommended for this material?

A: Hyundai EP5065N/1002 TPE is designed for conventional injection molding and two-shot (multi-material) molding processes. It requires standard drying prior to processing and performs best with mold temperatures between 30–50 °C and melt temperatures in the range of 180–220 °C.
