Bear in mind, thermoplastic properties of TPEs mean that chemical resistance is most likely to worsen as temperature is raised. http://www.coleparmer.com/Chemical-Resistance Heat Resistance PERFORMANCE COMPARISON As a thermoset, LSR can perform at continuous temperatures in excess of 200°C.
There are medical grade TPEs that can be autoclaved up to 135°C for 15 minutes, but the inherent thermoplasticity of most TPEs make them susceptible to softening under extreme heat.
