There are commonly known blends, such as material for a phone case or a fitness wearable. Unless you are a polymer expert, it’s challenging to know which type of TPE is the best fit for your use case. Glass or other heavier materials can be replaced with a lighter, TPE-made product so you can fit more inventory on delivery trucks.
