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. Thermoset materials like natural rubber and silicone can retain their properties in both hot and cold (down to -100 degrees F) environments, and under extreme pressure.
