One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials
is closer to 1%.
Use this simple calculation:
SPECIFIC GRAVITY X PRICE PER POUND = POUND/VOLUME COST
Consider the example below.
When looking to incorporate sustainable content into your TPE, the raw
material cost may be more expensive than traditional materials for three
reasons 1) supply chain maturity, 2) high demand, low supply, 3) location
of source and supplier.

Medical Hose Manufacturer Boosts Productivity With Specialized Material
The elastomeric material, used to overmold a cuff on the end of the hose, demonstrated inconsistent quality and subpar flow properties.
Cost savings: The hose manufacturer saves $33,000 per year by using Versalloy TPV instead of its previous material.
