These TPEs have good processability. A smooth surface can be achieved by using processing aid or special surface coated die to reduce the high shear stress. Processing aid is not very effective to improve the surface quality of the finished injection molded or extruded products. 3034 / ANTEC 2003 The selection of SBC and rheology of the compound are the most critical to control surface smoothness of the finished product.
