This technology also helps achieve superior grip properties, improving haptics for a better sense of touch and feel while remaining UV- resistant, chemical resistant to DEET and oils, and bio-compatible.

When using more sustainable TPEs—those formulated with recycled or bio-based content—the range of haptics may be more limited depending on the sustainable content source or possible inconsistencies in those raw materials.
On the other hand, bio-sourced tend to be more opaque, making them easily colorable, but they do have a different tint than prime raw materials.
For example, the use of sustainable content such as bio-based or recycled sources can lower a PCF.
