Thermoplastic elastomer-TPE-compound
<%=LablePriceTitle %>
A Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) combines the rubber-like properties of a thermoset elastomer and the processing characteristics of a thermoplastic.This is possible because TPE is composed of two phases:a soft phase, which provides elastic properties, and a hard phase which represents the thermoplastic segment andprovides both processing ease and full recyclability to thematerial.Thermoplastic Elastomers can be modelled into the desired shapes by means of the classic processing technologies used for plastic materials: the most common are injection moulding, extrusion and blow moulding.
