One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost- effective process. For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone. Black, blue and clear are popular options, but there is almost no limitation on color when it comes to using TPEs.

One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%. However, price per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost. UV Resistance
