Do you know how to measure the price of TPE raw materials

TPE is not a single raw material. Its main components are SEBS, white oil, PP and calcium carbonate (solid TPE). The price of calcium carbonate is basically stable. The market prices of other components have great influence on TPE. Just like the CAS number of TPE material, it does not have a definite number. There are many different brands and production specifications of blended SEBS components, which lead to different TPE brands and physical properties and are suitable for different application fields. In some cases, it is even necessary to customize the special compounding system according to the special requirements of users. Different material requirements of users determine different cost prices of TPE. The low-end eraser material in TPE material application field costs 3,000 to 4,000 yuan per ton, and the high-end new energy charging pile cable material costs 70,000 to 80,000 yuan per ton. In addition, the prices of TPE materials commonly used range from 10,000 yuan to 50,000 yuan per ton. The main factors affecting the price of tpe materials are generally related to the specific gravity, characteristics, hardness and color of tpe. The bigger the proportion, the cheaper the price. The characteristics of tpe materials are also closely related. For example, the prices of common tpe and halogen-free flame retardant TPE differ by tens of pieces. Therefore, manufacturers of TPE materials need the product characteristics, color, hardness, specific gravity and so on of customers to give you a more accurate price. If you don't give the specific proportion, hardness and requirements, many tpe material manufacturers may not know how to give you an accurate price. Just like some buyers don't know the materials, only pay attention to the price, which is cheaper to buy which one, but ignore whether the materials meet their own product requirements, only to find that the materials can't be used in production and processing.
