Thermoplastic-Elastomers Overview

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are versatile polymers that combine rubber-like elasticity with thermoplastic processability. They offer flexibility, chemical resistance, and durability, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. We can produce standalone TPE components tailored to meet the demands of consumer goods, automotive parts, and medical devices.

Additionally, we offer TPE overmolding services for metals and engineering plastics. This combination of material performance and processing capability enables us to deliver customized solutions that seamlessly integrate TPE with other materials.

Here are the Resins we Supply:

Material Type Hardness Elasticity Wear Resistance Chemical Resistance High-Temperature Resistance
TPE 50-90 Shore A High Excellent Excellent Excellent
TPU 40-95 Shore A High Excellent Good Good
TPV 50-90 Shore A Good Good Excellent Good

Advantages of TPE in Manufacturing

The advantages of TPEs make them a preferred choice in various industries, including automotive, consumer goods, medical devices, and more, where a balance of flexibility, durability, and cost efficiency is crucial.

TPE Part in Different Industries

Metals (aluminum, stainless steel, copper), engineering plastics (ABS, PC, PA, POM, PP), and certain rubber materials (such as NBR, EPDM, silicone, or natural rubber), depending on compatibility and surface treatment.
Customers often compare these two. TPE offers easier processing and lower cost, while silicone withstands higher heat and harsh environments.

Performance varies by grade, but most TPEs offer good flexibility across temperatures and solid resistance to UV and weathering.

TPE parts usually follow wider tolerances than rigid plastics due to softness and elasticity, often around ISO 3302-M3.
