Here are a few points to consider when designing part molds for styrene-ethylene/butylenestyrene polymer based TPEs (SEBS TPEs), or styrene-butadiene-styrene polymer based TPEs (SBS TPEs): Also, SEBS formulations shrink more than SBS formulations, soft TPEs shrink more than harder TPEs, and unfilled formulations shrink more than filled formulations. In parts that fill from a thin wall to a thick section, the polymer may break away from the wall as it enters the thick section.

Together, we can look for areas where polymers provide equivalent performance to traditional materials along with a host of other benefits, and evaluate newer polymer technologies developed to meet and beat performance standards for all your automotive applications. Provide specialty solutions that include lightweighting, impact protection, flame retardance, aesthetics and more.

Adding to their versatility, formulations can be designed using colors and specialty additives to meet specific needs.   A thinner wall part must use a smaller particle size and a formulation with good dispersibility to minimize the tendency for pigment particles to form lumps on a part’s surface. Color masterbatch formulations can produce opaque colors or can be developed with the appropriate pigment particle size and loading to enable translucent colors.
