Injection molding is a widely used manufacturing process for creating plastic parts with high accuracy and complex shapes. Thermoplastic Polyurethane (TPU) and Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) are two popular materials utilized in injection molding due to their unique properties and advantages. In this blog, we will explore the characteristics, advantages, and considerations of TPU and TPE for injection molding. Additionally, we will compare the two materials in terms of material behavior, mechanical properties, chemical resistance, surface finish, and cost considerations. By the end, you will have a clear understanding of which material is best suited for your injection molding needs.
