TPEs made from styrenic block copolymers (SBC) such as Kraton® D or G Polymers have special properties that can enhance the success of a finished part.
Dynaflex™ and Kraton® TPEs can be easily colored by a variety of techniques.
Most commercial TPEs are classified as general purpose and can be processed by a variety of techniques.

This can help to increase rPET content by reducing processing issues such as bottle blowouts, which can often lead to a loss of productivity.
ColorMatrix AAzure can also help reduce acetaldehyde levels in the preform by up to 80%, which can be an issue when running higher levels of rPET.
For applications requiring additional toner capability, ColorMatrix AAzure can be combined without a range of recycle-friendly toners.
