What your process engineer actually checks
What your process engineer actually checks
Soft grip that bonds to your PP part
G7980 is a general-purpose thermoplastic elastomer: a soft, rubbery feel that overmolds directly onto polypropylene for two-material parts, with FDA compliance (21 CFR 177.2600) and high 54 MFR flow. It regrinds up to 20% and ships with molding guidance.

About this product
TPE G7980 Black is a general-purpose thermoplastic elastomer with a soft, rubbery feel — formulated to overmold onto polypropylene, FDA-compliant for food contact, and easy-flowing (54 MFR) for grips, seals, and multi-material parts. Based on the Dynaflex™ G7980 grade.
Why engineers choose TPE G7980
A soft-touch elastomer that bonds to PP and clears food contact.
Soft-touch, rubbery feel
A comfortable, non-slip grip surface for handles and consumer products that are held in the hand.
Overmolds to polypropylene
Designed to bond directly onto PP substrates for two-shot and insert-overmolded multi-material parts.
FDA compliant
Meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for specific food-contact applications, so it clears kitchen and consumer review.
High flow (54 MFR)
Fills complex, thin soft-touch zones easily and supports fast cycling on multi-material tooling.

Common questions
Don't see yours? Email [email protected] — NDA standard, typical reply within 4 hours.
What does TPE G7980 overmold onto?
TPE G7980 is formulated to bond to polypropylene, so it is used to overmold soft-touch grips and seals onto PP substrates in two-shot or insert molding. For the best bond, mold the PP core first and overmold the TPE at recommended temperatures. A materials engineer can advise on your specific substrate.
Is TPE G7980 food safe?
TPE G7980 meets FDA 21 CFR 177.2600 for specific food-contact applications, which is why it is used on kitchen tool handles and similar parts. Confirm your exact use against that regulation — our team can supply compliance documentation to support your review.
Do I need to dry TPE G7980 before molding?
No, drying is not required for TPE G7980. It is good practice to purge the barrel with polyethylene (PE) or polypropylene (PP) before and after processing to clear the machine. Store the sealed units in a cool, dry place until use.
What melt and mold temperatures does TPE G7980 need?
TPE G7980 molds at a melt temperature of 188–227°C (370–440°F) with a mold temperature of 16–38°C (60–100°F). Its high 54 MFR fills thin soft-touch zones easily. These are starting points — a materials engineer can help tune them for your overmold.
Can I reuse regrind with TPE G7980?
Yes. TPE G7980 is recyclable and up to 20% regrind can be reground and reintroduced into the molding process, which helps reduce material cost on runners and sprues. Keep regrind clean and dry, and validate part properties if your application is critical.
What is TPE G7980 used for?
TPE G7980 suits soft-touch grips and handles, seals, gaskets and weather stripping, household goods and appliances, sporting goods, consumer products, and overmolded components on PP. Its soft feel and FDA compliance make it a flexible general-purpose elastomer.
How is TPE G7980 packaged and what is the minimum order?
TPE G7980 ships in sealed 2 lb units, and the minimum order is 5 units (10 lbs total). Larger volumes and official purchase orders are welcome — contact us for volume pricing. Material ships from US stock, typically within 1–2 business days.
