Hyundai EP7055N/1002 TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary application domain for Hyundai EP7055N/1002 TPE?

A: Hyundai EP7055N/1002 TPE is primarily engineered for use in soft-touch overmolding and functional elastomeric components—especially in automotive interior parts, consumer electronics housings, and medical device grips—where balanced processability, surface aesthetics, and dynamic mechanical resilience are required.


Q2: Is EP7055N/1002 compatible with common thermoplastics used in two-shot molding?

A: Yes, EP7055N/1002 exhibits good adhesion to a range of engineering thermoplastics—including polypropylene (PP), ABS, and PC/ABS blends—without requiring primers or surface treatment, making it suitable for standard two-shot injection molding processes.


Q3: How does EP7055N/1002 perform under repeated flexing or compression?

A: This grade delivers excellent elastic recovery and fatigue resistance due to its thermoplastic elastomer architecture, maintaining dimensional stability and tactile integrity after prolonged cyclic deformation—ideal for repeatedly actuated components like buttons, seals, and gaskets.


Q4: What processing conditions are recommended for optimal surface quality?

A: For best surface finish and minimal flow marks, mold temperatures should be maintained in the moderate range (typically 35–50 °C), while melt temperatures are generally optimized between 180–210 °C depending on equipment and part geometry.


Q5: Can EP7055N/1002 be colored or compounded with additives?

A: Yes, it is fully compatible with standard masterbatch systems and can be readily compounded with pigments, UV stabilizers, or antimicrobial agents—dosage depends on formulation requirements and regulatory compliance goals for the end-use application.
