With the listing of TPE soft adhesive, many enterprises have difficulty in choosing between TPE soft adhesive and latex. They do not know much about TPE soft adhesive and latex and do not know their characteristics. So, which is better, TPE or latex? Last time I shared with you the difference between TPE and silica gel. The following technical personnel from Dechuang Chemical Company will share with you which is better, TPE soft gel or latex. TPE soft adhesive features: 1. It can be processed by common thermoplastic molding machines without special processing equipment. The production efficiency is greatly improved. Can be directly vulcanized by a rubber injection molding machine, has high production efficiency, is easy to recycle and reduce the cost, and the used TPE used products can be recycled after simple regeneration, thereby reducing environmental pollution and expanding the source of renewable resources. 2. Most thermoplastic elastomers do not need vulcanization or the vulcanization time is very short, which can effectively save energy and has a wider application field. It can be used for the reinforcement and toughening modification of plastics, with large self-reinforcement, simplified formula, less restriction on the influence of compounding agents on polymers and easier control of quality and performance. Latex characteristics: 1. Mite and bacteria prevention. Because the oak protein in latex can inhibit the latent of germs and allergens, meets the requirements of environmental protection, can inhibit the breeding of germs and mites, has no static electricity, disperses natural milk fragrance, and benefits people who are troubled by asthma, allergic rhinitis and other respiratory system diseases. 2. The natural latex pillow has thousands of exhaust holes with fine net structure. These holes can release the waste heat and moisture from human body, promote natural ventilation, and provide natural air conditioning system to keep the air inside the pillow fresh and healthy. From the above, we can see that tpe soft adhesive has high production efficiency, low cost, recyclable and environmental protection. Latex can prevent mites and bacteria. tpe and latex have their own characteristics. Each of the two materials has thousands of materials. TPE has good hand feeling and elasticity, commonly known as artificial rubber. Compared with latex, TPE is not as good as latex in strength and weatherability. Therefore, which of the two materials is good depends on where it is used!
