Can you color TPEs? Can you color TPEs? Because their natural color is usually cream, white, beige or translucent, TPEs are very easy to color.

The new formulations can use varying levels for post-industrial recycled content – from 25% to 100% recycled content for polyamide 66 (PA66) and from 25% to 75% recycled content for thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU). Formulations are available globally in black and natural color and in typical reinforcement percentages of long glass fiber, long carbon fiber, or hybrid combinations.
