Weighted TPEs feature rubber-like properties.
2014-07-30 14:31:59| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
Part of 8055 Series, Weighted High Density Grades are two colorable, general-purpose TPEs with Shore A hardness of 55 and 65. Thermoplastic elastomers can replace rubber in products where additional weight is required, including garbage disposal drain plugs, traffic cones, fishing products, straps, and other sports and leisure products. With x-ray opaque capabilities, TPEs are also suitable for medical devices. This story is related to the following:Materials and Material ProcessingSearch for suppliers of: Elastomers |

Offered in Shore A hardnesses of 15, 20, 30, 35, and 40, CLR Series is formulated for consumer goods and applications requiring clarity, soft touch, and UV stability. Plasticizer-free thermoplastic elastomers provide non-blooming, high-strength properties as well as tactile surface finish. They are FDA compliant and give designers and molders alternative to silicone and PVC, making them suited for medical products and children's toys, as well as countertop electronics, appliances, and furniture.

Able to be processed by injection molding, extrusion, coating, and blow molding, medical grade engineered TPEs (thermoplastic elastomers) are available in Shore Hardness range of 35A to 74D and offer soft, flexible feel. These FDA-compliant TPEs can be used on their own or overmolded to provide tactile or functional features on components molded from other polymers, such as PP, PE, ABS, PC, SMMA, POM, and Nylon.

Halogen-Free TPEs target manufacturers of flexible cords.
2014-03-24 13:31:28| Industrial Newsroom - All News for Today
With Halguard® E 59000 Thermoplastic Elastomers, manufacturers of flexible cords can produce non-PVC insulation and jacketing that do not contain halogenated flame retardants or phthalate plasticizers, while avoiding processing limitations of highly filled halogen-free flame retardant polyolefin compounds. Inherently elastic, low-smoke compounds incorporate intumescent flame retardant formulations rather than metal hydrate fillers used to render polyolefin products flame retardant.
