Fluoropolymers have high melting points and corresponding high processing temperatures and continuous use temperatures, depending on the specific product.
Perfluoroalkoxy (PFA), for example, is at the high end; it has a typical continuous use temperature of 500°F (260°C) and typically reaches 715°F (380°C) during processing; equipment temperatures can be even higher than the melt temperature3.
Color concentration and viscosity of the carrier can be fine-tuned to maximize dispersion and color consistency.

those based on Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) or Styrene-Isoprene-Styrene (SIS) polymers, and
The SBS or SIS formulations process at temperatures similar to high impact polystyrene (HIPS) 290°F to 350°F.
High process temperatures may also cause the oil in these TPEs to volatize resulting in gas trapping.

Components requiring high strength, stiffness, impact resistance, or extreme temperature tolerance: Historically, concerns about plastics centered on their structural integrity and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations without melting, warping, or cracking.
They are also up to 100 times more fatigue-resistant than polymers reinforced with short fibers, offering a high degree of mechanical resistance to high loads.
