Outgassing of TPEs can cause multiple aesthetic defects.
Vent depths for TPEs are typically between 0.0005” and 0.001”.
Most GLS TPE materials replicate the mold surface fairly well.

TPEs: The Basics
PET Water Bottles can be
recycled in a closed loop
The goal of a circular economy is to minimize waste and
make the most of available resources to create a world
that is restorative and regenerative by design.
Sheet & Film—Sheets and films made
of PET are another major use case.
PET
sheets can be used to make a variety of
plastic products and film is often used
for tape backing, plastic wrap, medical
packaging, and protective coating on
windows.
