    Medalist® MD-30000 Series Medical TPEs bond effectively to Polycarbonate (PC), ABS, PC/ABS, CoPe, PET, PBT, ASA, SAN, PMMA, POM, PA and PS


    .


    The new lineup includes an ultra-soft, translucent, low-pressure change grade that can improve sealing performance, as well as chemical resistance to detergents and other chemicals that wearables may encounter


    .


    Unlike liquid silicone, the overmolded TPE does not require a coating during the production process.
    The overmolded TPE reduces production time because it does not require a curing process, and it can be processed on conventional injection molding equipment


    .


    Teknor Apex and Covestro LLC successfully completed a joint project in which the Medalist MD-30000 series was encapsulated with medical grade polycarbonate (PC) and PC alloys and tested for adhesion, processability and resistance.
