TPE is the abbreviation of Thermoplastic Elastomer. Its products not only have the excellent properties of high elasticity and aging resistance of traditional cross-linked vulcanized rubber, but also have the characteristics of convenient processing of ordinary plastics. It can be produced by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc., and 100% of the nozzle corners can be directly reused after being crushed. It not only simplifies the processing process, but also reduces the processing cost. Moreover, its products are environmentally friendly and beautiful in appearance, which makes the products more creative. Therefore, it is a new synthetic material with more humanization and high grade, and it is also a global standard environmental protection material.
Compared with traditional rubber particles, the processing route of general rubber products, such as natural rubber (NR) and ethylene propylene rubber (EPR), is as follows: raw rubber → plastication → mixing → calendering and extrusion → standing → vulcanization molding
The processing route of TPE products: raw materials → blending extrusion → injection molding, etc
Compared with vulcanized rubber products, TPE products with thermoplastic processability shorten the industrial process by 1/4, save energy by 25% ~ 40%, and improve efficiency by 10~20 times. At the same time, the leftover bits and pieces of TPE products during production, or the final residual products, waste products, spilled burrs, extruded waste rubber, etc. can be directly recycled. Used old products can be reused after simple treatment.
At the same time, TPE products do not produce toxic substances such as dioxin and other carcinogens, and no toxic plasticizer DOP is added in the processing process, so it is very friendly to human body and environment, and can meet the increasingly strict environmental protection requirements of various countries. Dongguan Dechuang Chemical Co., Ltd. is a professional manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomer TPE materials. There are thousands of TPE varieties developed by Dechuang, which have been mature and applied in different fields such as household appliances, electronic products, simulated fishing bait, sports equipment and household industry. Customers are welcome to inquire and negotiate!
