To make dispersion easier, the color concentrate should have slightly lower viscosity (higher MFI) than the base TPE.
Mold temperatures may have to be raised if there are long or thin sections of the part, which cannot be filled by changing other molding parameters.

Continuous fiber reinforced thermoplastic (CFRTP) composites, produced in unidirectional tapes and laminate configurations, have the unique ability to add strength and stiffness while reducing manufacturing cycle times and enabling part consolidation of structural components in a wide variety of applications.
These products can operate at high temperatures and have strong mechanical properties.
