Polyurethanes (TPU's)
Thermoset
Natural and synthetic rubbers such as latex, nitrile, millable polyurethane, silicone, butyl and neoprene, which attain their properties through a process known as vulcanization, are typical thermoset elastomers.

You may hear people talk about TPVs
(thermoplastic vulcanizates) or TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethane) instead of
TPEs.
There are several reasons TPEs are
a more eco-conscious option than
thermoset materials like rubber or silicone.
With thermoset materials like
a rubber tire, the options are much more
limited.
