Take you deep into the application fields of TPE/TPR

Thermoplastic elastomer, TPE material is believed to be familiar to everyone. It is a kind of material with high elasticity of rubber and machinability of plastic. It can be processed by general thermoplastic molding equipment; Therefore, this material is widely used in many industries, such as wire and cable, shoe material, plastic modification and so on. Today, Xiaobian collected and summarized the applications of TPE materials in the following typical industries: the base material of TPE materials is SEBS raw materials, and qualified products can be obtained only by having suitable formula composition, suitable raw material composition and processing technology in shoes, cables and other industries. At present, there are many kinds of sole materials on the market, such as EVA, TPU, rubber, etc., among which TPR sole products are also many, which is a new type of thermoplastic rubber environment-friendly material mixed with SBS as the base material, with both rubber properties and plastic characteristics, and simple processing technology. TPR soles have good elasticity and high strength, and TPR soles are more antiskid than EVA soles, which are mostly used for leather shoes, fashion shoes and children's sports shoes. However, as people's requirements for shoe materials are getting higher and higher, there are also modification methods based on the existing sole materials. For example, the anti-skid performance of EVA sole material can be improved by adding SBS or SEBS material, and SEBS brand already exists in the market at present, and the rebound performance of EVA sole can be improved by adding a certain amount. This material is oil-free and has excellent resilience and good compatibility with EVA material. Due to the requirements of environmental protection and safety of wires and cables, TPE materials can be said to be the mainstream application of the above industries in new energy vehicle charging cables and consumer electronic wires, and have been perfectly applied in related data lines, earphone lines, audio lines and other fields. TPE wire has the following performance advantages: 1)TPE material has excellent processability and can be blended in various colors; 2) The wire made of 2)TPE feels smooth and does not stick to the hand, which can achieve a matte or delicate surface; 3) By blending TPE formula, the aging resistance and anti-yellowing UV performance of wire can be improved, and the service life of products can be prolonged; 4)TPE raw materials are safe and non-toxic, do not cause irritation to human skin, do not contain plasticizer, and are a high-quality choice to replace PVC wires in corresponding fields; 5)TPE wire has stable performance. Through formula adjustment, halogen-free flame retardant can reach V0 level, which is safe and environment-friendly, and the high performance requirements of charging pile cable can also be met. However, a series of product problems will inevitably occur during processing and use, such as unstable wire size, large size shrinkage, insufficient bending resistance of wire and so on. In addition to the TPE formula, the selection of SEBS raw materials is also very important. At present, the relevant wire grades are used in the market, but some specific properties are slightly insufficient. The existing corresponding brand performance is as follows: 1) the material can be oil-filled free to meet the special customer requirements; 2) The material structure is special, with excellent dimensional stability and shrinkage in the same direction; 3) The material has excellent buckling resistance and good fatigue resistance; 4) For highly filled or flame retardant cable materials, it has excellent filler dispersion performance. Modification of plastics Plastic modification industry, as its name implies, uses other materials with excellent performance to modify and upgrade plastics, and the common one is toughening modification. Different from the application of TPE materials introduced earlier, plastic modification is mainly to prepare materials by melt blending SEBS/SBS with plastic raw materials, so as to obtain materials with better flexibility. Taking polypropylene PP material as an example, POE material is the main toughening material in the market at present, but some customers have used SEBS material to toughen PP material. At present, there are corresponding SEBS grades suitable for toughening modification of PP in the market. The brand has: 1) better compatibility with PP material; 2) Low hardness, high resilience and excellent toughening effect; 3) Different from ordinary SEBS materials, it is free of oil filling and has good processability; 4) The material has high transparency, which is especially suitable for preparing transparent toughened PP. The above application introduction is only a small part of the application of TPE materials. In our daily life, it can be said that all kinds of high-quality products of TPE materials are around. More applications may be matched with suitable raw materials, and the TPE industry will have unlimited business opportunities!
