Anti-skid property of TPE materials and comparative advantages of other materials

TPE/TPR has special anti-skid characteristics, which provides more possibilities for people's work and life. Its adjustable hardness and physical properties provide a wide range of imagination and design space for product designers. Its environmental protection and non-toxic characteristics are worthy of consumers' trust. . TPE/TPR is a soft rubber material, and the related materials with similar performance to TPE/TPR include EVA/POE, PVC, silica gel, (vulcanized) rubber, TPU/TPV, etc. The special anti-skid properties and uses of the materials are compared as follows. 01 EVA/POE And belongs to a class of polyolefin elastomers TPO. Although this kind of elastomer has soft touch, because the molecular monomer unit is a single directly connected olefin polymerization structure without benzene ring, the anti-skid performance of the material is poor, and the anti-skid and wear-resistant strength is poor. The application of injection molding for soft rubber products is limited, generally some craft ornaments, small toy products and toughening modification. 02 PVC soft glue One hydrogen atom in polyethylene was replaced by chlorine, and polyethylene changed into PVC. Although PVC has good elasticity, it lacks rubber texture and has general anti-skid performance. In addition, the environmental protection performance of PVC also affects its application space. 03 silica gel The molecular chain structure of silica gel only gives it excellent resilience, aging resistance and weather resistance, and excellent environmental protection characteristics. Silica gel shell has excellent soft touch, but silica gel is not good at anti-skid performance. 04 (vulcanized) rubber This kind of material has excellent wear resistance and anti-skid performance, and vulcanized rubber system has excellent heat resistance, chemical resistance and physical and mechanical properties, which makes its application focus on industry, and automobile tires and industrial conveyor belt industry are one of its most important applications. 05 TPU/TPV These are two common types of thermoplastic elastomers. Both materials have certain rubber anti-skid performance. However, these two materials have poor soft touch. 06 TPE/TPR materials This refers to SEBS,SBS polystyrene elastomer alloy. This kind of material has rigid molecular structure of styrene and flexible molecular chain structure of butadiene (or butylene-ethylene), which makes TPE/TPR have certain strength and excellent flexible touch at the same time. The strength, wear resistance and anti-skid performance of TPE/TPR are inferior to those of vulcanized rubber, which makes it applied to some daily-use products, tool hardware and electronic products. Product application cases: Tool hardware, bicycle handlebar, luggage handle, knife and kitchenware handle Such as anti-skid foot pads for automobiles, anti-skid pads for automobile interior ornaments, anti-skid pads for mobile phones, anti-skid pads for bathrooms and toilets, cup coasters (composite injection molding or single material molding), anti-skid bowl pads and so on. TPR sole has excellent anti-skid performance, and compared with rubber, it tastes much less, and the sole feels softer and more comfortable when worn. TPE/TPR and TPU are used in caster industry. However, TPR has softer anti-skid characteristics and can be used to produce silent casters for medical industry. Casters made of TPU have relatively loud friction sound.
