TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part.
Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs):
In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.

In the chart above, you can see the polymer structure of polyketone is very similar to PA6, PA66, and POM, which explains the similarity in properties.
POM is based on polymerized formaldehyde, which makes the polymer sensitive to thermal degradation, releasing formaldehyde gas.
However, as previously mentioned, polyketone is much less hygroscopic than PA6 & PA66 due to the lack of nitrogen in its polymer structure.
