Thermoplastic Elastomers Knowledge Base Generally, the color concentrate should be lower in viscosity (have higher melt index) than the base formulation. SBS based TPEs will develop a yellow or orange color and a distinctive odor when they have been processed at too high a temperature or held at temperature for too long.
