Answer: Our portfolio includes several types of TPEs:
- Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS): A hydrogenated form of SBS, SEBS offers excellent UV, ozone, and heat resistance, making it ideal for outdoor applications. It also provides superior flexibility, low-temperature performance, and aging properties. Please check TPE product page for details.
- Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS): A block copolymer that combines the properties of rubber and plastic, SBS offers excellent elasticity, tensile strength, and is widely used in applications requiring flexibility and durability, such as adhesives, sealants, and coatings. Please check TPE product page for details.
- Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV): Dynamically vulcanized blends of EPDM rubber and a thermoplastic matrix like polypropylene, TPVs combine the elasticity of rubber with the recyclability and processing ease of thermoplastics, ideal for automotive seals and gaskets. Please check TPE product page for details.
- Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO): A blend of polypropylene and ethylene-propylene rubber, TPOs offer excellent impact resistance, flexibility, and are commonly used in automotive parts and roofing membranes. Please check TPE product page for details.
- Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU): Known for their high abrasion resistance, flexibility and durability, TPUs are widely used in demanding applications such as footwear, hoses and cable jackets. Please check TPU product page for details.
