Making the Right Elastomer Choice: Silicone or TPE?
Entrepreneurs, product designers, and engineers will all encounter an “elastomer crossroads” at some point in time in their career. While silicone and thermoplastic elastomers exhibit similar properties at room temperature and can be sourced similarly on a durometer scale, there are important factors to consider when choosing the right elastomer to use. In this webinar, we will discuss which elastomer is the best choice for different applications, prototyping techniques for each, and other considerations to help make your decision easier. Our unique strategy of working with both elastomers in high volumes and varying difficulties provides us with firsthand experience and knowledge in this very important crossroad: Silicone vs. TPE.
