 overmold adhesion. The OM 6200 Series grades were formulated to minimize the effects of these nylon modifications, according to the company. Another important advantage is said to be in processing. Besides being developed to process in both insert molding and two-shot molding, the new grades do not require drying the TPE or the nylon substrate prior to molding. The OM 6200 Series also offers a wide processing window, fast cycle times and excellent surface aesthetics, according to the company. Target markets include lawn and garden, hardware, hand and power tools, and other industrial applications where a soft touch is needed, or vibration or noise damping damping
