Unfortunately, injection molders typically run then-processes at temperatures between 190-240°C in order to improve flow and processability of the material and to shorten cycle time. Molding at these higher temperatures may have a negative impact on the elastomer morphology and thus affect the physical properties of the TPO blend.
