At the recycling facility, PET and rPET materials are separated from non-plastics and other plastics, then compressed and gathered into bales for easy transportation to a processing center.
At the processing center, the compressed PET is separated by color, crushed into small flakes, cleaned, and dried.

• When metal or other non-compressible substrates are used, provide springs underneath the steel sections shutting off on the substrate to prevent flashing due to a steel insert with a poor fit.
In addition, shrinkage of both the TPE and substrate should be considered. • When metal or other non-compressible substrates are used, provide springs underneath the steel sections shutting off on the substrate to prevent flashing due to a steel insert with a poor fit.
TPE Overmolding Troubleshooting Problem: Flash (over substrate or on periphery of part) Possible Cause Poor mold fit.
