Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.
We offer Thermoplastic Elastomer SEBS (TPEs), TPO, these manufactured from quality raw material that is procured from very reliable resources.
Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) is actually a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) along with styrene addition at both ends. Green Peacefulness lists SEBS as an appropriate alternative to PVC in playthings. Polyolefin materials such as Polyethylene (PE) as well as Polypropylene (PP) would be the most common foundations for SEBS, which do not require plasticizers (like phthalates) or stabilizers (like lead) with regard to flexibility and stability respectively.
Styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene (SEBS) is the product of hydrogenated SBS (“hydrogenation” means molecular hydrogen is introduced into unsaturated molecules in the special reaction conditions, making the molecular structure become saturated). SEBS is with a saturated molecular structure, and its anti-aging,
yellowing resistance, heat resistance, corrosion resistance is better than SBS.
Both TPE and TPO belong to the Family of Thermoplastic Elastomers
- TPE is the abbreviation of “Thermoplastic Elastomers”
- TPO is the abbreviation of” Thermoplastic Olefine”
- TPEs are modified from SEBS base material, while TPO are usually modified from blend PE, PP
