In order to maximize drying efficiency and achieve high quality parts, desiccant or vacuum dryers are strongly recommended. In order to reduce the residence time at high temperature, reduce the temperatures in the rear of the injection unit as much as possible and only keep the last zone and nozzle at the high processing temperature. SEBS formulations release from cool surfaces more easily than hot surfaces.

Like LSR, TPEs offer you the chance to achieve a wide variety of colors and special effects with relative ease. They also require precise venting and vacuum to release off-gassing during the chemical curing process and must withstand temperatures more than twice that of TPE molds (170°F vs. 320-420°F) Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.
