Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) are soft plastic materials with similar properties as rubbers and can be used in similar applications.
An important advantage for TPE is that it behaves like thermoplastics in product manufacturing can therefore be processed with conventional plastic processing equipment.
Injection moulding is an example of a more efficient manufacturing method than production of rubber products that involve vulcanization.
In addition, TPE materials can be re-melted and therefore recycled into new products.
See how our TPE is used in the production plant by our customer G-MAN Tools in Edsbyn, Sweden:
The EcoTPE by EcoRub compounds:
- Recyclable and contains 30-50 % recycled materials
- Excellent processability by conventional TPE injection moulding equipment
- Belongs to the category TPE-S compunds and is based on SEBS
- Same quality and specifications as virgin TPE compounds
EcoTPE is available in the following categories:
EcoTPE Strength
- Improved mechanical properties
- Maintained flexibility
EcoTPE Flow
- Enhanced flowability for production of larger products
EcoTPE 2K
- TPE overmoulding applications
- Excellent adhesion to polypropylene and polyethylene
