Superior Nylon Overmold Adhesion: Discover the advantage of Zeotherm TPVs

• Allows superior overmold adhesion
  to a wide range of nylons (polyamides),
  including PA6; 6,6; 11; 12; 4,6; filled
  and unfilled
• Provides cohesive "rubber tearing"
  adhesion without special pretreatment
Creates adhesion that survives
heat exposure to 175°C
• Offers compatibility to 2k, insert
  molding, welding (hot plate, spin)
  and co-ex processes

Zeotherm TPVs deliver "rubber tearing" adhesion to a broad range of nylons, without the difficult and expensive pretreatment most TPEs require. Using Zeotherm makes it possible to select the nylon grade that provides your preferred cost and performance, without worrying about TPE bonding. Zeotherm is the right choice for bonding to nylons such as PA6 and 6,6 to the more exotic PA11s, 12s and 4,6, whether filled, unfilled or modified.

With Zeotherm, adhesion is maintained even after exposure to hot fluids and heat to 175°C, where conventional TPEs are prone to delaminating and loss of overmold adhesion.

Zeotherm TPVs can even be welded to nylon using hot plate or spin welding processes.

Use Zeotherm to create components that combine rigidity and heat resistance with the flexibility and softness
of a TPE, including:

• Handles and grips for demanding parts
• Exterior trim on automobiles that can resist the desert sun
• Underhood seals
• Motor housings
• Vibration isolation components
• Fasteners and clips
• Air intake ducts (cuffs)

The most exacting nylon overmold applications demand Zeotherm TPVs.
