When considering sustainable content TPEs, recycled content formulations have more limitations based on the comingled nature of recycled raw materials. A 2012 article in Plastics Technology¹ notes silicone rubber molds need tighter tolerances to prevent flash. Keep in mind that a limited number of toolmakers specialize in LSR molds—and many are based in Europe.

Both of these sustainable raw materials can have some color limitations due to their differences in feedstock consistency compared to traditional raw materials. There is generally limited differentiation in aesthetic appeal when looking at a pre-colored biopolymer or one that is colored at the press. This digital tool can determine the color possibilities or limitations – before sample development – to help optimize the ratio of virgin resin to PCR and elevate aesthetic needs.

However, design flexibility is limited because, as thermosets, finished parts cannot be post-formed. Take a deeper dive into this article from the Idea Center.
