Finally, the new TPE grades also boasted lower extractables because they required no crosslinking, unlike thermoset silicones.
Reduced freight costs: The lower specific gravity of TPEs versus thermoset silicone rubber cut the overall part weight by 20 percent.
Reduced scrap costs: The easy processability of the two TPE materials resulted in major scrap rate reductions totaling more than $70,000 a year.
