[Tpe material] What kind of material is tpe? What material is tpe?

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE for short), also known as thermoplastic rubber (TPR for short), has both the mechanical elasticity of traditional rubber and the processability of thermoplastic plastics. The scope of TPE includes: SBS, SEBS, SIS, SEPS, TPO, TPV, TPU, TPVC, TPEE, TPA, etc. Generally speaking, TPE in the market mainly refers to SBS and SEBS styrene elastomer. TPE has the advantages of environmental protection, non-toxicity and safety, wide hardness range, excellent colorability, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, no need for vulcanization, and can be recycled to reduce costs. It can be used for secondary injection molding, coated and bonded with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other matrix materials, and can also be formed separately.

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) not only has the processing properties of thermoplastic, but also has the physical properties of vulcanized rubber. It can be said to be an advantage combination of plastic and rubber. Thermoplastic elastomers are occupying the territory that originally belonged to vulcanized rubber. In the past ten years, the rapid development of the electronics, communications and automotive industries has led to the rapid development of the thermoplastic elastomer market. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastic. Because it does not need to undergo thermal vulcanization, the product can be produced using general plastic processing equipment. This feature shortens the production process of rubber industry by 1/4, saves energy consumption by 25%~40%, and improves efficiency by 10~20 times, which is another time for rubber industry
