For styrenic-based TPEs, the gate depth (D) should be 25-35% of the TPE component’s wall
thickness at the gate entrance; 35-50% for urethane-based TPEs.
Skin oil can also affect the TPE adhesion to the insert, so hand protection should be worn
when handling the inserts.

Generally, GLS TPEs will flow
much further in thinner walls than other types of TPEs.
Coloring
SBC TPEs have inherently superior color than most other TPEs.
SEBS TPEs that have been processed at too high a temperature
will have a burnt odor (degradation) and in the worst case become tacky and bleed oil.

SELECTION GUIDE
reSound™ REC Recycled Content Thermoplastic Elastomers
Post-industrial and post-consumer recycled TPEs
To help brands reach their sustainability goals,
reSound™ REC post-industrial recycled (PIR) and post-
consumer recycled (PCR) TPE formulations utilize
9–83% recycled content. reSound REC TPEs can be
overmolded onto polypropylene (PP), polycarbonate
(PC), acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS) and PC/ABS
blends, and are suitable for injection molding.
FDA); oil; or
polyvinyl butyral (PVB) from windshields and
laminated building glass.
Formulated for the consumer and transportation
markets, reSound recycled content TPE grades can
be used in applications such as personal care
products, lawn and garden tools, outdoor goods,
office supplies, footwear, houseware durables,
consumer electronics, and automotive interior and
under-the-hood components.
