Hyundai EP7060N/1002 TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary polymer base of Hyundai EP7060N/1002 TPE?

A: Hyundai EP7060N/1002 is a thermoplastic elastomer based on a styrenic block copolymer (SBC) architecture, offering a balanced combination of rubber-like elasticity and thermoplastic processability.


Q2: Is this grade suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE)?

A: Yes — EP7060N/1002 is specifically formulated to provide good adhesion to common polyolefins such as PP and HDPE when processed under standard injection molding conditions, without requiring primers or surface pretreatment in many applications.


Q3: What are the recommended drying conditions prior to processing?

A: To ensure optimal melt stability and surface quality, it is recommended to dry EP7060N/1002 at 70–80 °C for 2–4 hours using desiccant-assisted air circulation. Extended drying beyond this range is not typically required unless ambient humidity is exceptionally high.


Q4: Can this TPE be used in applications requiring food contact compliance?

A: While EP7060N/1002 is manufactured using FDA-compliant raw materials and is commonly selected for food-contact-adjacent applications (e.g., seals, grips, non-leaching components), final regulatory approval depends on the full formulation, processing conditions, and end-use requirements. Users should conduct appropriate testing and consult local regulatory guidance.


Q5: How does EP7060N/1002 compare to conventional SEBS-based TPEs in terms of softness and compression set?

A: This grade delivers enhanced soft-touch characteristics and improved recovery after deformation compared to standard SEBS grades, owing to its tailored microstructure and optimized plasticizer system — making it well-suited for applications demanding low compression set and long-term tactile integrity.
