What's the Difference? TPEs vs. Silicones | Avient

https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/whats-difference-tpes-vs-silicones?ind[]=6598

Across dozens of industries and in a countless number of applications, product designers and manufacturers have turned to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and liquid silicone rubber (LSR) to replace natural rubber. When considering sustainable content TPEs, recycled content formulations have more limitations based on the comingled nature of recycled raw materials. Use this simple calculation: Specific Gravity X Price Per Pound = Pound/Volume Cost

Spiral flow tests performed using 0.0625" thick x 0.375" wide channel at 400°F. As a result, the anisotropic nature of the styrenic TPE needs to be taken into consideration when determining the gate location on the part. For maximum flexibility, the design should be naturally or geometrically balanced.
