There are commonly known blends, such as material for a phone case or a fitness wearable. Others require a smooth, nearly frictionless feel, like a phone case that you want to easily slip in and out of your pocket.

Within a specific TPE family, these two properties are related. Creep resistance and tensile strength in a given TPE family are generally directly related. When comparing TPEs across different families, actual physical property data beyond hardness is required to make appropriate material decisions.

For example, on average, Americans now check their cell phones 47 times per day1—that’s a lot of times to touch a phone case that has been shown to carry 10x more bacteria than a toilet seat2! Studies have found serious pathogens on phones, such as streptococcus, MRSA, and E. coli, so the importance of protecting cases, game controllers, television remotes and other accessories is paramount.
