Depending on the formulation, TPEs can produce a range of tangible finishes —from silky smooth, to slightly tacky, to very grippy. It is also possible to add additional surface texture to a finished product by bead-blasting or chemically texturing the mold used in processing either material. With the right additives, TPEs can also hold up to UV.
