Uncover the multiple benefits available when you add TPEs to your products Specific applications where TPEs can help include: Soft and semi-rigid orthotics can benefit from the use of soft TPEs.

In other words, explore what’s possible with TPEs. Again, TPEs can help. TPEs work to reduce costs in other ways too.

Finally, the new TPE grades also boasted lower extractables because they required no crosslinking, unlike thermoset silicones. Reduced freight costs: The lower specific gravity of TPEs versus thermoset silicone rubber cut the overall part weight by 20 percent. Reduced scrap costs: The easy processability of  the two TPE materials resulted in major scrap rate reductions totaling more than $70,000 a year.

Adding TPE production enables the company to support customers in the country even more quickly and with a broader portfolio of domestically manufactured materials. We’re very excited to build upon our momentum in India with domestic production of TPEs,” said Vikas Vij, managing director India at PolyOne.

All grades are formulated for durability, delivering property retention and UV resistance comparable to traditional TPEs.
