What is TPE material? Compared with people who have just contacted this industry, there will be such doubts. What are the characteristics of TPE materials? This is also a question for people new to the industry. Both customers and staff working in the industry are eager to get a reliable answer. We use the Rykey company platform to summarize the knowledge of each party and simply explain it here.

What is TPE material? TPE, also known as thermoplastic elastomer, is a polymer rubber or polymeric plastic, which has good elasticity and resilience. It is also the reason of same as rubber material and called polymer rubber. At the same time, TPE thermoplastic elasticity has plastic thermoplasticity, which can be reshaped by heating. This is similar to the characteristics of plastic. Also known as TPE is called polymer plastic. TPE thermoplastic elastomer materials in a broad sense are divided into many types, including SEBS, SBS, TPO, TPV, TPU, TPEE and other materials. TPE thermoplastic elastomers are also a general term for such materials, and there are also differences in the market. The domestic TPE is generally referred to as the raw material produced by SEBS materials by re-formulation, which is relatively large in domestic application, and TPE in foreign countries represents all of the above categories.
