HIGH PERFORMANCE CLEAR THERMOPLASTICS ELASTOMER Jiren Gu , Tom Castile and Krishna Venkataswamy GLS Corporation 833 Ridgeview Dr., McHenry, IL 60050 Abstract High performance clear TPE products are developed to replace silicone and PVC in various medical and personnel care applications. Styrene Block Copolymer (SBC) is a TPE that combine the processing characteristic of thermoplastics and physical properties of vulcanized rubbers. SBC compound is thermoplastics and can be recycled, which results in additional saving in processing cost compared with thermset silicone.
