INTRODUCTION
Objective
This document provides guidelines for part design, mold design and processing
of styrenic block copolymer (SBC) thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
Coloring
SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs.
GLS TPEs have lower viscosity (higher flow) than traditional
thermoplastics and will leak back easier than other materials.

TPE Knowledge Base
An advancing core should be used when the mold opens and the elastomer should be allowed to deflect as it is ejected.
Use a lower hardness for the TPE

Thermoset vs Thermoplastic (What’s the difference?)
Common examples are polypropylene (PP), nylon (PA), polyketone (PK), and thermoplastic elastomers (TPE).
Amorphous vs Semi-Crystalline Thermoplastics
An amorphous thermoplastic material has no specific molecular structure while a semi-crystalline polymer has some order.
