Traditional TPS based formulations do not bond well with solvent \u2013 cyanoacrylate glue with or without primer is an alternative to achieve high bond strength in these situations. However, in addition, HEXPOL TPE has developed a range of Mediprene TPE compounds which achieve high bond strength when applying solvents such as cyclohexanone. Mediprene solvent bondable TPEs for injection moulding are available in hardness\u2019 from 60 Shore A to 45 Shore D and can be further expanded based on application requirements. The grades are transparent, and the tubing grades also offer good kink resistance properties.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-element elementor-element-0226efe elementor-widget elementor-widget-text-editor\" data-id=\"0226efe\" data-element_type=\"widget\" data-e-type=\"widget\" data-widget_type=\"text-editor.default\">\n\t\t\t\t<div class=\"elementor-widget-container\">\n\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<p>All Mediprene Solvent Bondable series compounds fulfil HEXPOL TPE\u2019s strict raw material selection policy.
