Materials with lower specific gravity will fill more volume and therefore yield more parts per pound.
Use this simple calculation: Specific Gravity X Price Per Pound = Pound/Volume Cost
Exposure to chemicals can cause changes in weight, volume and pliability that degrade TPEs and LSR to the point of failure.
