Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs):
Clear, unfilled SEBS or SBS grades form intimate contact with the tool and replicate the surface very well.

Polymers are a class of organic materials that are generally produced by converting natural gas or crude oil
derivatives into monomers, such as ethylene, propylene, and styrene.

These gases form a cellular foam
structure from the inside to the outside of the plastic
part when they are used in an optimized injection
molding process.
Hydrocerol Chemical Foaming Agents are ready-
to-use CFAs in either pellet or powder form.
When processing
Hydrocerol concentrates in powder form it is
advantageous to add small amounts (0.1%) of
adhesion promoters to avoid separation from the resin.
