Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers (TPR), are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) that consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.

Ultra-soft thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) gel compounds are used in medical devices to provide padding or cushioning, or an tight seal. Teknor Apex presents the next generation of ultra-soft TPE gels, addressing two of the major limitations faced by current TPE gel materials.

2024年5月9日 · Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a class of polymers that combine the characteristics of both thermoplastics and elastomers. These materials exhibit thermoplastic behavior, meaning they can be melted and reshaped …

Thermoplastic Elastomers or TPEs are a physical mix of polymers with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. They were commercially introduced in the 1960s. TPE is a polymer with the characteristics of: Thermoset vulcanized rubber — …

TPEs exhibit elasticity similar to that of a cross-linked rubber. Their softness or hardness value is measured on the Shore durometer scale. Our TPEs are available as ultra-soft gel like materials measuring 0 Shore A through to rigid materials measuring up to 65 Shore D, and just about every variation in-between.

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a type of plastic that have been refined to create a soft, rubbery feel—and they’re everywhere. TPE is common in household objects, like the grip on your toothbrush, the soft lid of a sippy cup, your dog’s chew toy, and cellphone cases. What’s the difference between TPEs and silicone or rubber?

GEON’s C-Series is an ultra-soft Thermoplastic Elastomer with gel-like properties that is PVC, silicone, and latex-free. The C-Series TPE has soft and cushioning comfort with superior colorability and excellent clarity.

Gel elastomers are highly viscoelastic polymer gels that have excellent shock absorption and damping characteristics. Typically, they are produced via a two-part casting system. Viscosity, hardness, tensile strength, processing temperature, cure time, and …

2005年6月28日 · We demonstrate the use of thermoplastic elastomer gels as advanced substrates for construction of complex microfluidic networks suitable for use in miniaturized chemical analysis systems. These gels are synthesized by combining inexpensive polystyrene−(polyethylene/polybutylene)−polystyrene triblock copolymers with a hydrocarbon …

ULTRAGEL™ viscoelastic gels and soft elastomer products cover a wide range of properties from viscous fluid-like materials, supersoft gels (Shore A “000”), soft gels (Shore A “00”) up to more conventional low durometer elastomers (Shore A 10-40)
