Most TPE compounds have fairly high mold shrinkage in the flow direction with minimal shrinkage in the cross
flow direction.
Depending on the wall thickness of the elastomer and the substrate, the
production rate can be very high.
Figure 3: Rheological behavior of Over-molding TPEs
The viscosity is in the lower end of the spectrum as shown in the figure 3. in high shear rate regimes.
https://www.avient.com/knowledge-base/article/beginner-s-guide-tpe
One of the most commonly cited advantages of TPEs is the ability to produce products via high-volume injection molding, which is an extremely cost-effective process.
Sure, you can grind up a tire into a material for the track around a high school, but the material itself can’t be changed or transformed into a completely new and recyclable product.

Lightweighting: Engineered polymer materials designed with a high strength-to-weight ratio, have similar structural integrity as traditional materials, but can be lighter in weight.
While it can be a complex process, designing for sustainability can have a high environmental impact and bring value to eco-conscious consumers.
