When looking to incorporate sustainable content into your TPE, the raw material cost may be more expensive than traditional materials for three reasons 1) supply chain maturity, 2) high demand, low supply, 3) location of source and supplier. TPEs can be formulated to achieve high tear strengths as seen in traditional TPE applications such as diapers and exercise bands, where these bands or thin films (as low as 3 mils) are stretched without tearing.

Chemical formula: CaCO3  Density: 2.71 g/cm3 Hardness (Mohs): 3   Graphene is a flat, single layer of carbon atoms in sheet form that is significantly stronger than steel.3 It has a high surface area-to-volume ratio, high tensile strength (how much it can stretch before it breaks), and high electron mobility (the speed at which its electrons move when voltage is applied).4 Graphene is not a new material, but it recently became commercially available and is now being used as a polymer additive. Solid glass beads— which range from 20 to 40 micrometers in diameter—can be used as a partial replacement for glass fibers to reduce cost, shrinkage and warpage because their spherical shape makes them more uniform in all directions.1,2 Hollow microspheres reduce part density, improve flow and dimensional stability, and provide sound and thermal insulation.3 These additives can be used as an alternative to mineral fillers.
