Reduced costs: The new material was less expensive than fabric – in raw form and in manufacturing costs.

While TPEs are useful in their basic form, they are often blended with other materials to make a new kind of TPE (like TPVs and TPUs) to produce the ideal properties for a specific application. This means a large volume of product (anywhere from tens of thousands to over a million units) can be created by heating the TPE blend and injecting it into a mold, where the TPEs cool and form the desired shape. Once heated, TPEs get softer and turn into a form that allows the material to flow freely, but they don’t turn into a liquid state as is the case when something is melted.

Available in masterbatch form, the colorants have been created to include materials such as almond shells, glitter flakes, fibers and other special effects.

These engineered fibers are designed to provide water-blocking capability in dry design fiber optic cable applications, developed for optimal grip and insulation performance in cable jacketing and armor, and processed to help extend the life span for oil and gas pipe and industrial belts.    

Gas trapping/ poor venting. Gas entrapment. Add a pin in the area to eliminate the gas trap.

Ripcords are available in flat, twisted or corded form that are precision-wound for solid package integrity and minimal ballooning to yield the greatest length per package.

Resin impregnated fibers are chemically cured with thermal or ultraviolet energy to form a highly crosslinked thermoset matrix.
