As a result, color concentrates using polypropylene as the color carrier in a 20 or 25-to-1 ratio is the best choice for coloring SEBS TPEs.
Please see the GLS Technical Datasheet for suggested starting conditions for each TPE.

This creates a foundation of trust in the data outputs.
If you are used to designing in metals, you might be surprised when a polymer’s technical data sheet does not translate into part performance you anticipated.
Many metals can approximate linear elastic behavior, but polymer behavior is not so easily simplified to one modulus, making it more challenging to predict performance based on a data sheet.

Selecting the right material for your application
should include careful evaluation of the material’s
technical data.
In addition, it is equally important to
look beyond the datasheets to more fully understand
the application demands, working environments,
and product life expectations to use and optimize
the material for your specific application.
