TPE VS. Silicone: What is the Difference?

TPE, or thermoplastic elastomer, and silicone are two similar rubber materials that both offer several advantages. Both are commonly used in the injection molding process. Silicones exhibit unique behavior at high temperatures and have no melting point, remaining solid until combustion occurs. At high temperatures (200-450C), silicone rubber will slowly lose its mechanical properties over time and become […]
