If you have important functional questions about your design, your project is likely a good candidate for evaluation with FEA.

Pyrolysis is more likely to damage the recovered fibers and reduce their properties in subsequent cleaning steps to remove the pyrolysis char, but some composites or mixed material applications require this route.

It also boasts excellent chemical resistance to common substances like cosmetics and cleaners, as well as foods such as olive oil and mustard.

It is more difficult for a TPE to form a melt bond with a semi- crystalline polymer, such as polyamide, than with an amorphous polymer like polycarbonate. As an example, most TPEs do not bond effectively to heat stabilized grade polyamide 6 (HS). Other commercial TPEs do not perform well in comparison, to various polyamide types considered in this study.
