Santoprene Thermo Plastic Elastomer (TPE) is an injection moldable rubber type material. Santoprene is generally used in applications that require a flexible material but, limited chemical resistance. The most common color of the raw material is black; other colors are available with special orders. This material, in its natural state, is lighter than water, meaning Santoprene balls float in water. The ball blanks are manufactured by injection molding.
