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.

Whether it's footwear, sportswear, or consumer electronics, products infused with SILIKE's Soft TPU Modifier Particles offer a superior sensory experience that sets them apart from the competition.
Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) elastomers are highly elastic, durable, and versatile, finding use in everything from footwear to automotive components. However, conventional TPU materials often lack the softness and processability required for certain applications.
Typically, TTPU manufacturers may adjust the TPU’s soft segment ratio or increase plasticizer proportions to enhance its softness for specific applications. However, this can escalate costs or compromise TPU’s mechanical properties, risking stickiness and precipitation.
SILIKE’s Soft TPU Modifier Particles are a unique alternative to traditional TPU, which addresses the shortcomings of conventional formulations.
✅ One of the standout features of SILIKE’s Soft TPU Modifier Particles is their ability to enhance the tactile feel and comfort of end products. By incorporating these particles into various applications, manufacturers can achieve a softer, more pliable texture that greatly enhances user satisfaction.
