PMT has extensive experience with TPR (”’thermoplastic rubbers”’) in order to take your project from concept to reality with the highest level of quality at the most competitive price, on time, every time.
TPE’s are widely used in automotive, electrical and appliance applications.
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.
Examples of TPE resins are Styroflex (BASF), Kraton (Shell chemicals), Pellethane, Engage (Dow chemical), Pebax (Arkema), Arnitel (DSM), Hytrel (Du Pont) and more. While there are now many commercial products of elastomer alloy, including: Mediprene, Santoprene, Geolast (Monsanto), Sarlink (DSM), and Alcryn (Du Pont) .
