TPE THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMER

A Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) combines the rubber-like properties of a thermoset elastomer and the processing features of a thermoplastic. It is possible because thermoplastic elastomer composed of two phases a soft phase which provides elastic properties, and a hard phase which represents the thermoplastic segment and provide both processing ease and full recyclability to the material. Thermoplastic Elastomers can be molded into the desired shapes by means of the classical processing technologies used for plastic materials the most common are injection moulding, extrusion and blow molding.

TPR Thermoplastic Rubber

The Thermoplastic rubber based on SBS (Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene) thermoplastic rubbers having a high degree of elasticity to their peculiar block structure. The great success of these polymers realise on their cost-effective and easy process ability allowing the production of rubber-like soles without bearing the long and expensive curing process.

Characteristics

The TPR (Thermoplastic rubber) compounds have the following general features

Hardness range available from 40 to 95 shore A.
Operating temperature from -40 °C to +50 °C.
High elastic recovery both at low and room temperature.
Excellent price/quality ratio.
Excellent colourability.
Processabilitywithout difficulty.
Lightweight up to 0.50 Specific gravity – Used for footwear application like Shoe Soles, Safety Shoes, Industrial Shoes, Sports Shoes & Automotive Segment

TPO

Thermoplastic Polyolefins (TPO) compounds are polypropylene based materials that have been modified to provide better impact resistance compared to standard off-the-shelf Polypropylene grades.TPO is easily processed by injection molding, profile extrusion, and thermoforming. However, TPO cannot be blown, or sustain a film thickness less than 1/4 mil (about 6 micrometres). It is designed primarily for automotive exterior ornamentation applications requiring low thermal expansion characteristics and a moderate degree of flexibility

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE

TPO thermoplastic elastomer family consists of heterophasic compounds based on an amorphous elastomeric phase and a crystalline phase, usually both of a polyolefinic nature. This chemical composition conferselastic properties to finished products up to temperature of 180°C. These compounds are classified as TPOs.

TPV

Sperene thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are high-performance elastomers, which offer manufacturing flexibility, durability, and ease of processing. By offering high-up and consistent performance across automotive, industrial and demanding consumer applications, Sperene TPV offers the potential for reduced system costs, recyclability, and reduced weight, compared to materials such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene polyethylene backbone) or other thermoset rubbers.

CHEMICAL STRUCTURE

TPV is a thermoplastic elastomer and more precisely it is a vulcanized thermoplastic elastomer (TPV). It is made of an elastomeric phase (dynamically vulcanised EPDM) which is deeply dispersed in a polyolefinic thermoplastic matrix, whose combination determines a real plasto-elastomeric alloy characterised by high performances and extremely easy process ability. The thermoplastic matrix allows TPV to be processed in an easy, inexpensive way by means of traditional technologies used for thermoplastic materials and to be fully recyclable, while its elastomeric phase features typically recovery and softness.
