To avoid these types of defects, find the radius of transition zones and corners in your mold. If these materials are used in hot runner tools with dead zones or self-insulating runner systems, gels of cross-linked TPE may be sloughed into the flow path, partially blocking thin areas such as gates or part walls. However, we do not recommend the use of self-insulating runner systems for SBS or SEBS TPEs, due to the dead zones and potential for polymer degradation.

There is also a shift from polypropylene (PP) to high-density polyethylene (HDPE) closures, where post-consumer resin is more readily available. Fortunately, there are a number of options available to help you effectively use PCR in closure applications. ¹Source: Life Cycle Impacts for Postconsumer Recycled Resins, December 2018 https://plasticsrecycling.org/images/library/2018-APR-LCI-report.pdf
