Question:

What kind of rubber does TPE belong to?

What kind of rubber does TPE belong to?

Answer:

TPE does not belong to rubber.Although TPE has a tensile resilience similar to that of ordinary rubber, TPE is thermoplastic and rubber is thermosetting. Rubber needs cross-linking. It can not be reprocessed after molding. TPE can be processed repeatedly.
TPE does not belong to rubber. It is a kind of heat shrinkable elastomer material with high elasticity, high strength, high resilience, and has the characteristics of injection molding
Thermoplastic elastomer TPE (Thermoplastic, Elastomer) is a kind of material with high elasticity, high strength, high resilience, and has the characteristics of injection molding. Nontoxic security, wide range of hardness, with excellent color, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, excellent processing performance, without curing, can reduce the cost of recycling, can be two times of injection molding, and PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS and other base materials the adhesive, can also be a separate molding.
