Starting with water-clear grades of TPE will generate the best pearlescent and metallic colors.
It is always sound practice to test your material choices for chemical resistance under actual service conditions to ensure performance.
What’s the best fit for your application?

To better evaluate how to protect plastic parts from microbial attack, Avient conducted a study to screen a variety of plastic substrates for susceptibility using American Society for Testing and Materials (ASTM) G21 (fungi susceptibility), Japanese Industrial Standard (JIS) Z2801, and modified ASTM E1428-15a (bacterial susceptibility) test standards.
ZPT proved to be very effective in protecting TPEs, reducing common bacteria populations by 99.9% or more in JIS Z2801 testing, and inhibiting fungal growth (rating = 0) according to the ASTM G21 standard.

Polymers are formed differently and have inherent properties that are optimized by using best practices for their design.
Plastic / metal hybrid designs can bring the best of both worlds – reduced weight and structural integrity.

What happens if you change the material, processing conditions, testing conditions, or environmental variables?
Digital prototyping and testing can eliminate the need for early physical versions.
It may also help to streamline lead times or avoid costs associated with performing multiple rounds of physical testing.
