SBCs are shear dependent – this means their viscosity is higher at low shear rates (such as extrusion) and lower at high shear rates (as in injection molding). SBC TPEs will flow more easily into thin areas of the mold at high shear rates. The figure below illustrates the effect of shear rate on the viscosity of GLS styrenic TPEs (measured at 390°F (200°C)).
