Basics of Two-Component Adhesion in Hard-Soft Composites with TPE

In this webinar, you’ll receive a concise and practical introduction to two-component adhesion in hard-soft assemblies with thermoplastic elastomers (TPE). You’ll learn how a reliable bond between hard and soft components is formed and what role material selection and processing play in this process.

• How does adhesion develop, and how is it measured
• How does two-component injection molding work
• What factors influence the process 
• Typical application examples

The focus is on the key factors influencing adhesion, the possibilities of two-component processing, and central aspects of material selection, part design, and processing. In addition, we’ll show how potential challenges can be identified early on and risks minimized in a targeted manner.

The webinar is aimed particularly at beginners who want to learn the basics of two-component processing or deepen their existing foundational knowledge.
