Starting with water-clear grades of TPE will generate the best pearlescent and metallic colors.  As a thermoset, LSR can perform at continuous temperatures in excess of 200°C. There are medical grade TPEs that can be autoclaved up to 135°C for 15 minutes, but the inherent thermoplasticity of most TPEs make them susceptible to softening under extreme heat.
