Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are a class of polymeric materials that combine the high elasticity of rubber with the
thermoplastic properties of plastics. At ambient temperatures, they retain the soft, resilient characteristics of rubber, while at elevated temperatures they melt and flow, enabling various processing techniques such as blow moulding, and extrusion. They are also recyclable, offering both environmental benefits and processing convenience.
TPE exhibits a broad hardness range (typically from Shore 0A to 100A), with properties adjustable through formulation. Its core advantages include high impact resistance, ageing resistance, weather resistance, and excellent adhesion to diverse substrates, alongside being non-toxic and offering a soft tactile feel.
