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.

Application

Si-TPV Soft elastic material can be widely used in common toy products such as toy dolls, super soft simulation animal toys, toy erasers, pet toys, animation toys, educational toys, simulation adult toys and so on!

Traditional toy materials such as plastic, rubber and metal have long been the mainstay of the toy industry. However, concerns about chemical exposure and environmental impact have led to the need for safer options. Let’s take an in-depth look at some of the innovative materials that are revolutionizing the world of children’s toys:

Silicone: Silicone has emerged as a popular choice for toy manufacturers due to its hypoallergenic properties and durability. Free from harmful chemicals like phthalates and BPA, silicone toys offer peace of mind for parents concerned about their child’s health.

Natural Wood: Wooden toys have stood the test of time for their timeless appeal and safety. Made from sustainably sourced wood, these toys are free from synthetic materials and provide a tactile, sensory-rich play experience.

Organic Cotton: For plush toys and dolls, organic cotton is an excellent choice. Grown without the use of pesticides or synthetic fertilizers, organic cotton is gentle on sensitive skin and reduces exposure to harmful toxins.

Biodegradable Materials: Biodegradable plastics and plant-based polymers are gaining traction as eco-friendly alternatives to traditional plastics. These materials break down naturally over time, minimizing environmental impact and reducing plastic pollution.

SILIKE Si-TPV Soft elastic material: Engineered for optimum comfort and safety, it delivers a sustained, skin-friendly soft-touch devoid of harmful chemicals. Si-TPV harnesses the combined advantages of a TPU matrix and dispersed domains of vulcanized silicone rubber. This unique composition ensures seamless processing, enhanced abrasion and stain resistance, customizable colorability, and superior adhesion to PA, PP, PC, and ABS materials.
Crucially, Si-TPV is formulated without toxic o-phenylene plasticizers, bisphenol A, nonylphenol NP, and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), aligning with stringent safety standards. Its inherent stain-resistant and easy-to-clean properties elevate practicality, while robust wear and scratch resistance guarantee enduring durability. Moreover, Si-TPV exhibits gentle and antibacterial traits, making it suitable for prolonged skin contact without provoking allergic reactions.
