Polyolefin Elastomers

This TPE is used for handles on power and hand tools but also as grips on everything from pens to golf clubs. Manufacturers use two-shot mouldings to form these grips but sometimes adhesives are required for prototype parts or for supplementing

Thermoplastic elastomers can be quite difficult to adhesively bond (Table 4.11) and invariably a primer or some other form of surface treatment (see Section 6.3) is necessary.
