These are high clarity TPEs with high tensile and tear properties. These TPEs have good processability. Ingredient selection for the TPE compound required a careful match of refractive indexes.

The ultra-low PCF of these reSound TPEs measures the cradle-to-gate stage of the product life cycle. The PCF value of these TPEs may be used as an input to determine the total GHG emissions generated by a product over its entire life cycle. reSound ultra-low carbon footprint TPEs are available globally, and each PCF is location specific to more accurately support carbon neutrality efforts.
