SBC Rheology
One major characteristic of SBCs is that they are shear dependent.
OVERMOLDING
One of the largest areas of growth for TPEs is overmolding.
Relocate the gate so flow occurs in only one direction.

Add weight while simplifying your processing
steps – Simplify your manufacturing process by
injection molding a weighted, finished part in one
step rather than adding a metal weight.
Utilize existing molds – Replace current ABS
solutions with low shrinkage PP grades and utilize
your existing molds
