Chemical impurities or static discharge can do the same.

If you’re looking for a workhorse mineral filler, calcium carbonate will be happy to do the job.
Higher aspect ratio minerals do more to improve tensile strength but have anisotropic properties because they orient with the melt during mold filling.1
Plastics do not readily conduct electricity, or heat and cool the way metals do.

Do not allow finished parts to fall into a bin
without protection.
Unfortunately, ejector sleeves do not
facilitate cooling inside of a pin.
The material has to be cool enough before
ejection so that the ejector pins do not
produce a surface defect on the part

If thermoplastic elastomers can do all this, you might be asking yourself, “Is there any reason I wouldn’t want to use TPEs?”
For one, you can’t put a product or device made with TPEs in the oven at 400 degrees Fahrenheit (F), which you can do with silicone.

Do note that LSR is generally more capable of reflecting a nuanced mold texture than thermoplastic elastomers because silicone rubbers exhibit a low viscosity that allows it to flow more easily across the entire mold and into complex geometries.
On the other hand, bio-sourced tend to be more opaque, making them easily colorable, but they do have a different tint than prime raw materials.
Thermoplastic elastomers have rapid cooling times and do not require secondary operations or curing agents, which leads to quick turnaround and fabrication.
