This defines TPE as a thermoplastic polymer material.
This makes LSR a thermoset polymer material.
Because LSR cures at high temperatures, using it as an overmold material in a two-component molding system requires pairing it with high temperature thermoplastics to overcome the risk of melting or deforming the substrate.
