Both TPEs and LSR can be used to add a soft grip on top of a hard substrate. Because LSR cures at high temperatures, using it as an overmold material in a two-component molding system requires pairing it with high temperature thermoplastics to overcome the risk of melting or deforming the substrate.  One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%.
