TPE Quick Facts • How are TPEs made? TPEs: The Basics What are TPEs? To help you identify the right materials for your product, they will need to know: 1. the kind of environment in which your product will be used 2. what kind of properties you need (e.g., stretchy, hard or soft, color) Is TPE the best material for my products?

™ TPEs vs. One caveat: Typical TPE shrinkage is around 2% while that of substrate materials is closer to 1%. When looking to incorporate sustainable content into your TPE, the raw material cost may be more expensive than traditional materials for three reasons 1) supply chain maturity, 2) high demand, low supply, 3) location of source and supplier.

Specifically, here are five ways TPEs can help the healthcare industry meet an anticipated capacity crunch: 1. TPEs can also be reprocessed and made into different products. CONCLUSION: HOW CAN TPEs HELP YOU?

TPE-1 and TPE-2 have a hardness of 45 and 50-55 Shore A, respectively. Results and Discussion TPE-1 TPE-1 is a translucent material of 45 Shore A. Figure 3 shows the capillary viscosity of TPE-1 and TPE-2 at 200oC.
