Q1: What is the primary application of Hyundai EP7070B/8901 TPE?
A: Hyundai EP7070B/8901 TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer specifically engineered for soft-touch overmolding and functional grip applications—commonly used in automotive interior components, power tool housings, and consumer electronics accessories where durability, tactile comfort, and adhesion to rigid substrates like PP or ABS are required.
Q2: Is EP7070B/8901 TPE compatible with common injection molding equipment?
A: Yes, it is fully processable on standard injection molding machines. It requires typical TPE drying (e.g., 60–80 °C for 2–4 hours) and mold temperatures generally ranging from 20 °C to 40 °C. Melt temperature should be maintained between 170 °C and 210 °C depending on part geometry and cycle requirements.
Q3: How does EP7070B/8901 perform in terms of adhesion to polypropylene (PP)?
A: It exhibits strong inherent adhesion to untreated PP substrates without requiring primers or surface treatments—making it suitable for two-shot molding processes. Bond strength is optimized when processing parameters (e.g., melt temperature, mold temperature, and injection speed) are aligned with Hyundai’s recommended guidelines.
Q4: Does this grade meet regulatory requirements for consumer-facing products?
A: Hyundai EP7070B/8901 TPE is formulated without intentionally added heavy metals, phthalates, or halogenated flame retardants. It complies with general global safety expectations for consumer goods and is commonly selected for applications requiring RoHS and REACH conformity—though final compliance verification remains the responsibility of the compounder or end-user based on full formulation and intended use.
