Q1: What is the primary function of Kraiburg HTO8402/68 TPE in thermoplastic elastomer formulations?
A: HTO8402/68 TPE is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer designed to enhance melt processability and improve surface aesthetics in soft-touch overmolding applications, particularly where good flow behavior and low-temperature flexibility are required.
Q2: Is HTO8402/68 TPE suitable for overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) substrates?
A: Yes — it exhibits strong inherent adhesion to non-polar polyolefin substrates such as PP and PE without requiring primers or surface treatments, making it well-suited for two-shot molding and soft-grip applications in automotive and consumer goods.
Q3: How does HTO8402/68 TPE perform under repeated flexing or dynamic mechanical stress?
A: It demonstrates excellent fatigue resistance and long-term elasticity retention, maintaining structural integrity and surface quality even after extended cyclic deformation — a key advantage for seals, grips, and wearable components.
Q4: Can HTO8402/68 TPE be colored using standard masterbatches?
A: Yes — it is fully compatible with conventional polyolefin-based color masterbatches and can be uniformly pigmented without compromising its mechanical or processing properties.
