Clear and soft TPE raw material TPE transparent material
The English name TPE is Thermopolistic elastomer, which is collectively referred to as a thermoplastic elastomer. It is a soft rubber material that can be processed and molded by a general thermoplastic molding machine. TPE appearance is TPE appearance is the color, black, translucent or transparent round particles. TPE materials can be molded by injection, extrusion, blowing, salivation, pouring, etc.. TPE has high elasticity, high strength, high back elasticity of rubber, and materials that have the characteristics of injectable molding.
Environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, wide range of hardness, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, superior processing performance, no need to vulcanize, can be recycled to reduce costs, can be secondary injection molding, It can be bonded with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials and can also be formed separately.
Some friends will say that TPE is also TPR, which confuses TPE with TPR. TPE is a material made of SEBS as a base material, and the material of SBS base material modification is called TPR. It is only slightly different in terms of name. In Hong Kong and Taiwan, most people like to call TPR. In the Mainland, most people like to call TPE. In fact, TPE and TPR are only different names for thermoplastic elastomer materials.
Advantages of TPE materials:
1, can be recycled effective energy conservation, is the replacement of rubber and silicone ideal material.
Tpe
2, relatively stable in nature, with good temperature resistance(use temperature range -50 -100 °C), aging resistance, chemical resistance, solvent resistance. The processing performance is superior.
3, environmental protection non-toxic and safe, with excellent coloring, soft touch. TPE materials do not introduce heavy metals in the production process, do not add toxic phthalate plasticizers, and comply with ROHS, REACH, EN71, PAHS, and FDA environmental protection tests. It is a good material to replace PVC.
4, energy conservation. Most thermoplastic elastomers do not need vulcanization or vulcanization time is very short, the production efficiency is greatly improved, and the molding period is short.
5, with rubber's high elasticity, but also has the characteristics of injection molding.
6, can be secondary injection molding, and PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials coated, but also can be formed alone.
Disadvantages of TPE materials:
The big problem with SBS and SIS is the poor heat resistance, and the operating temperature can not generally exceed 80 °C. At the same time, its strength, weather resistance, oil resistance, wear resistance, etc. can not be compared with rubber.
What is the material for TPE? What are the advantages and disadvantages of the introduction, TPE is widely used, The overall applications include the automotive industry, the wire and cable industry, the medical device industry, the toy industry, the road field, the shoe industry, the sports equipment industry, consumer durable goods, the home appliance industry, the alien material, the packaging industry, the paint industry, and the sealing field.
