Good surface aesthetics and color retention are maintained after sterilization processes.  The gloss level cannot be improved through process modification and only small improvements can be made with a change in the tooling surface. Similar to other resin systems, the addition of a color pigment may lower mechanical properties.

Pre-heating can also reduce any surface moisture present on the substrate and thereby improve adhesion. When using lifter bar ejection systems, differential thermal expansion of the mold may cause the lifter to jam. SEBS formulations release from cool surfaces more easily than hot surfaces.
