Switching from this time-intensive material may be an important opportunity to streamline production as the industry struggles to keep up with a steady increase in demand. One proven approach is to replace traditional vulcanized rubber materials with thermoplastic elastomers, better known as TPEs. This advanced material provides cleanliness by avoiding cross-linking agents used in curing vulcanized rubber.
