Overmolding Techniques & Adhesion Requirements
SILIKE Si-TPVs Overmolding can adhere to other materials through injection molding. suitable for insert molding and or multiple material molding. Multiple material molding is otherwise known as Multi-shot injection molding, Two-Shot Molding, or 2K molding.
SI-TPVs have excellent adhesion to a variety of thermoplastics, from polypropylene and polyethylene to all kinds of engineering plastics.
When selecting an Si-TPV for an over-molding application, the substrate type should be considered. Not all Si-TPVs will bond to all types of substrates.
For more information regarding specific over-molding Si-TPVs and their corresponding substrate materials, please feel contact us.
Application
Si-TPV silicone-based thermoplastic elastomers can be widely used in the field of 3C electronic materials. In addition to being used as general cell phone cases, they can also be used as soft touch overmoulding on smartphones/soft touch overmoulding on portable electronic It can also be used as soft touch overmoulding on smartphones/soft touch overmoulding on portable electronic cases, replacing Silicone overmolding, and it can also replace soft PVC to meet the environmental protection requirements in more and more fields.
✅1. One of the most effective ways to prevent scratches and mar dirt collection is by applying protective coatings to the surface of electronic consumer products. These coatings, such as clear coats or nano-ceramic coatings, form a durable barrier that shields the device from damage caused by friction, impact, and environmental factors.
✅2. Another approach is to use anti-scratch materials in the construction of electronic consumer products. Advanced materials, such as scratch-resistant polymers or tempered glass, offer superior resistance to scratches and abrasions, ensuring that the device remains pristine even after prolonged use. By selecting materials with inherent anti-scratch properties, manufacturers can minimize the risk of damage and enhance the overall durability of their products.
Silicone case itself is slightly sticky, after a period of time will adsorb a lot of dust on the phone, in the long run, but not conducive to the beauty of the phone, and the protection of the phone’s original purpose of the contrary!

✅3. Surface treatments, such as chemical etching or laser engraving, can also mitigate scratch and mar dirt collection on electronic consumer products. These treatments alter the surface texture of the device, making it less susceptible to visible damage and dirt accumulation.
-
✅4. New 3C Technology soft over-molding Material: SILIKE Si-TPV, delivers a unique silky and skin-friendly touch, excellent dirt collection resistance, flexibility, durability, and resistance to scratch & mar, which makes it an ideal choice for 3C electronic product designers looking to create products that offer both aesthetic appeal and function advantages at an affordable price point. As well as, its eco-friendly sustainable advantages over traditional materials used in 3C electronic product design.
