TPE Materials We Process

Thermoplastic elastomers combine rubber-like elasticity with thermoplastic processing. We support multiple TPE families for different applications and performance requirements.
tpe injection molding

TPE

Cost-effective, soft, and highly flexible elastomer with good surface feel and easy processing. Offers a wide hardness range and good compatibility for overmolding on PP/ABS substrates. Commonly used for grips, seals, consumer products, and soft-touch housings.
TPE Injection Molding

TPU

High-strength elastomer with excellent abrasion resistance, tear strength, and load-bearing capability. Maintains flexibility under dynamic stress and provides good oil and wear resistance. Ideal for wheels, wear parts, protective covers, and industrial components.
TPU Injection Molding

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.
