One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%. However, price per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost. A 2012 article in Plastics Technology¹ notes silicone rubber molds need tighter tolerances to prevent flash.

One of the first things to consider is the necessary hardness for your application. One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost-effective process. For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone.

Fiberglass is one of the most common polymer composite reinforcements, and carbon fiber is one of the strongest. Pultrusion is one way that advanced composite materials can be manufactured.
