If the requirements are not met by one specific
material, two or more thermoplastics can be combined to close the gap.
The second (over-mold)
material is either injected onto one side of the insert or sometimes completely
surrounds the insert.
Only in the last one decade
applications have emerged which demand combining hard and soft thermoplastic
materials.

One of the first things to consider is the necessary hardness for your application.
For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone.
Black, blue and clear are popular options, but there is almost no limitation on color when it comes to using TPEs.
