Many SBC based TPEs are anisotropic; that is, they have different properties in the flow direction than in the crossflow direction (90 degrees to the flow direction).
Consider these modulus differences when designing the tool and its gate locations.
Some TPEs may also have different shrink rates in the two directions.

Nymax REC materials are no different, providing comparable performance to prime nylon grades with the benefit of being a more sustainable solution.
What’s the Difference?
Compare the differences and determine the best material for your application.

Despite their different sources, biopolymers are typically used in the same manufacturing process as petroleum-based polymers.
Exploring custom formulations may be extremely valuable because each application is different.
Using sustainable raw materials may cost more, but the overall benefits to your company and customers can help offset the cost difference.
