TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE)

 

Thermoplastic Elastomer (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is a material that combines the properties of thermoplastics and traditional vulcanizates. It is the so-called third-generation rubber following natural rubber and synthetic rubber, abbreviated as TPE or TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber). Commercial varieties of the TPE family include TPEE, TPAE, TPU, TPR, TPV, POE, and SBC. Features are as follows:

 

1, no vulcanization

 

2, easy to mix

 

3, physical properties between vulcanized rubber and plastic

 

4, materials can be recycled

 

The thermoplastic elastomer eliminates the traditional rubber vulcanization process during processing, and can be formed by injection, extrusion, blow molding, molding, etc., in the same way as plastics. The molding rate is faster than that of conventional vulcanized rubber, and the molding material can be reused. .

 

Main features:

  1. Soft touch, anti-vibration and anti-slip

  2.Excellent weather resistance, heat resistance and abrasion resistance

  3. Hygienic and non-toxic, in line with food hygiene and safety

Application areas:

  1. Transparent series: toys, soft insoles, insoles, toe sheaths, ballpoint pen grips, fishing lures, sex toys, heels, ice boxes

  2. Weather-resistant series: automotive seals, outdoor parts.

  3. Food grade: ice box, various food containers.

  4. Covering grade: various grips, shell covering, toothbrush handle covering, bottle cap gasket, stationery.

  5.Extrusion series: breast expansion strips, car carpets, wires and cables, computer cables.
