What are thermoplastic elastomers and what are their uses
What is thermoplastic elastomer? When we say thermoplastic elastomer, we actually mean TPE/TPR, also known as artificial rubber or synthetic rubber. Its products not only have the excellent properties of high elasticity, aging resistance and oil resistance of traditional crosslinked vulcanized rubber, but also have the characteristics of convenient processing and wide processing modes of common plastics. It can be produced by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other processing methods. After the corner of the nozzle is pulverized, it can be directly reused 100%. Because the processing process of thermoplastic elastomer is relatively simple, and the processing cost can be reduced. Therefore, thermoplastic elastomer tpe/tpr material has become a new product to replace traditional rubber.
So, what are the uses of TPE manufacturers? Because of the variety of processing of thermoplastic elastomers, the application of thermoplastic elastomers is also very extensive. All the rubber and plastic properties of thermoplastic elastomers are double and broad, so thermoplastic elastomers are widely used in the manufacture of rubber shoes, rubberized fabric and other daily products and various industrial products such as rubber tubes, adhesive tapes, rubber strips, rubber plates, rubber pieces and adhesives. At the same time, thermoplastic elastomers can also replace rubber and be widely used in the modification of PVC, PE, PP, PS and other common thermoplastic resins and even PU, PA, CA and other engineering plastics, thus bringing about a brand-new situation in the plastic industry.
