In China, TPS (Styrene Elastomer) materials are considered as TPE or TPR materials, which are cognitively equivalent. 2) Domestic TPS elastomer manufacturers used to call SEBS modified elastomer TPE material and SBS modified elastomer TPR material. At this level, TPE and TPR are different modifiers. Therefore, in the field of domestic production enterprises, the properties of TPE and TPR materials are quite different. The surface of TPE material is foggy or dull, with astigmatism irradiated by light; TPR raw materials are usually bright and reflective, and transparent materials are more obvious. Combustion phenomenon. TPE materials have yellow flame and light smoke when burning, while TPR materials have thick black smoke and obvious aromatic smell when burning. Poor hands.
