No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool.
TPEs offer excellent barrier properties against both air and moisture.

This not only caused a high scrap rate, but also led to frequent interruptions in the automated process so that the mold and machine could be cleaned.
In addition to a lower material cost than silicone, the custom TPE offered cycle time efficiencies, lower part weight due to its lower specific gravity, and reduced scrap rates.

• Needs a small diameter strength member with specific tensile and
geometric requirements that current product was not achieving
• Requires a solution that is also black and UV resistant, as existing
aramid yarns are not available in color (coating is not acceptable
for the application due to off-gassing complications)
• Withstands extreme, prolonged thermal cycling
• Acts as a critical component for safe re-entry into earth’s
atmosphere at the end of the satellite’s life cycle
