One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials
is closer to 1%.
However, price
per pound is just one aspect of the overall cost.
LSR is inherently UV resistant and will not degrade when exposed
to UV.

New Renol™ Black Colorants Deep Black provide intense black shades with excellent light fastness to polyester textiles.
Deep black is perceived by customers as more attractive, conveying an impression of high quality in contrast to less intense black shades, which can look washed out.

Add conductive carbon black or graphite to a basic polymer and it will conduct electricity.
The fine black powder is added at relatively high levels and creates only black-colored parts.
Some types of carbon black may slough, or shed, invisible dust.
