During the injection-molding step, the TPE insert forms a strong bond with the substrate, such as polypropylene or polyethylene, used for the container closure. Traditional vulcanized rubber products require application of adhesives to bond to the closure, and this adhesive bond has a greater potential for failure than the chemical bond formed between a TPE and  polymer substrate.

The table and graph below summarize the values of the plaques recorded for L*, a*, and b*, throughout the different 5-melt histories. A visual inspection of the bottles shows that bottle B still has a very recognizable amber tone. The L*, a*, and b* values recorded in the table below are also well in accordance with what can be visualized in Figure 2, where there is a shift in the b* value indicating a decrease in yellow tone.
