In general, TPEs are recommended when you need a material that can be: • easily manufactured • bonded to rigid polymers • molded into a unique design • colored • produced to a specific hardness, toughness or surface feel requirement • recyclable • chemical resistant or fire retardant • noise and vibration dampening One of the first things to consider is the necessary hardness for your application. One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost- effective process. For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone.
