Results and Discussion
TPE-1
TPE-1 is a translucent material of 45 Shore A.
TPE-2
TPE-2 materials are opaque and their base chemistries are different from TPE-1.
Figure 3 shows the capillary viscosity
of TPE-1 and TPE-2 at 200oC.

The material
properties data of 60A (I), 60 A (II) and 75A of Universal TPEs are presented in Table 1. 60 A
(II) is the latest development based on the technology platform to improve the adhesion behavior
over 60 A(1) for certain specific polyamides.

Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically
Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers
Stat-Tech™ TPEs are electrically conductive
thermoplastic elastomers engineered to protect
critical electronics from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), and electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference (EMI/RFI).
Stat-Tech TPEs can be both injection molded and
extruded, giving great design freedom for more
complex geometries.
These include:
• Industrial – Conveyor belts (food production
and pharmaceutical industries) and controls
( joy sticks, machinery handles and knobs,
corrugated bellows, tool grips)
• Electrical and electronic devices – Seals and
gaskets, radars and sensors
• ADAS components – Camera systems,
navigation systems, vehicle control systems,
infotainment systems
