A 2012 article in Plastics Technology1 notes silicone rubber molds need tighter tolerances to prevent flash.
On the other hand, TPEs are most commonly processed using in-line, single- screw injection equipment that has been routinely used in the plastics industry for decades.

THE MAGIC OF LIQUID COLOR Liquid color is a uniform dispersion of color pigment or dye into a liquid carrier material.
COLOR COMPLIANCE REGULATORY ADVICE AND DOCUMENTATION COLOR SUSTAINABILITY Reducing carbon footprint in the way that a colorant is formulated and processed has become an increasing priority for plastics processors.
Processing conditions can cause material properties to shift from the values stated in the information.

METAL REPLACEMENT COMBINES METAL’S STRENGTH WITH PLASTIC’S LIGHT WEIGHT CASE STUDY: COMPLĒT™ LONG GLASS FIBER REINFORCED COMPOSITE Challe nge Accepted.
This was great for strength and performance, but the yoke was heavy, had long lead times for production, and was nearly $100 per part, making it ripe for a metal-to- plastic conversion.
When Avient proposed re-engineering the yoke with an alternative composite material, Bettcher was receptive, but needed evidence that a polymer solution would retain the reliable performance its customers demanded.
