On solution that's a bit of a cheat is to use a 'soft touch' coating applied
as a 2K lacquer. This gives a rubber feel to hard surfaces
We use:-
Senosoft Waterbase Clear 1 coat 2 pack
Part no. 05-3647-503393
Hardener 19-3616-503366
Weilburger Schramm Coatings (01928) 570900
Hope this helps

Subject: Another question
Dear rp-ml
I have a contact who wants to coat plastic parts with a 'rubber-like'
material. The requirements are similar to the elastomeric materials used
for toothbrush handles and on pen barrels.
As I understand it, this is normally achieved using removable insert
injection moulding, which is costly and we don't want to go this route
without knowing that it works first.
Is there a way to prototype this effect by spray coating an elastomeric
compound on to a plastic part?
