Q1: What is the primary application domain for Shanghai Taixiang 2108-45T TPE?
A: This thermoplastic elastomer is primarily formulated for soft-touch overmolding and flexible components in consumer electronics, personal care devices, and medical-grade housings where skin-safe tactile performance and good processability are required.
Q2: Is 2108-45T compatible with common engineering thermoplastics used in two-shot molding?
A: Yes, it exhibits strong adhesion to polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), and ABS substrates when processed under standard injection molding conditions — no primer or surface pretreatment is typically needed for robust bonding.
Q3: What processing guidance should be followed for optimal surface finish and low compression set?
A: Recommended melt temperature ranges from 170 °C to 190 °C, with mold temperatures between 25 °C and 40 °C. Sufficient cooling time and moderate back pressure help minimize sink marks and maintain elastic recovery.
Q4: Does this TPE grade meet regulatory requirements for skin-contact applications?
A: Shanghai Taixiang 2108-45T is manufactured without intentionally added heavy metals, phthalates, or halogenated flame retardants, and is widely selected by customers for skin-contact products — final compliance depends on full formulation, processing conditions, and applicable regional regulations.
