One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%.
Another consideration is that recycling either material once it’s overmolded, whether cohesively or with adhesives, can be a challenge.
However, price per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost.

In addition, operating income before the effect of special items is a component of Avient’s annual incentive plans and is used in debt covenant computations.
Management excludes intangible asset amortization from adjusted EPS as it believes excluding acquired intangible asset amortization is a useful measure of current period earnings per share.
