It is also possible to add additional surface texture to a finished product by bead-blasting or chemically texturing the mold used in processing the material.
With the right additives, TPEs can also hold up to UV. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/UV_degradation Biocompatibility PERFORMANCE COMPARISON LSR has a long-standing track record of use in the medical industry.

This is usually achieved via the addition of vents at the ends of flow (full peripheral venting is the best solution).
