Specific drying temperatures and times can be found on the Technical Data Sheets for each individual product.
If using a specialty overmolding grade, follow the coloring recommendations given on the individual product Technical Data Sheet.
GLS TPEs have lower viscosity (higher flow) than traditional thermoplastics and will leak back easier than other materials.
