TPE - thermoplastic elastomers

Excellent resistance to oils
For applications that require optimal resistance to oils, with quality equal if not better than the epicloridrina and nitril rubber.

The thermoplastic elastomers are resistant to oils and combine the versatility of rubber and process efficacy of thermoplastic materials.

The thermoplastic elastomers can save money by offering, at the same time, the same performance of vulcanized rubber, eg. NBR, polychloropren, ECO and even some types of urethane.

Performance competitive with ECO and NBR

The thermoplastic elastomers retain their excellent properties with atmospheres and hot oils and have a good combination of performance at low temperatures (-40 ° C [-40 ° F]) and a level of resistance to oils equal to NBR rubber compound and ECO . Parts made with the thermoplastic elastomers have a swelling reduced oil, while the low level of compression makes them ideal for sealing applications in the automotive and industrial sector.

Design components without constraints

The components obtained for injection moulding and thermoplastic elastomers made with levels of tolerance two - three times greater than the vulcanized rubber NBR or ECO. And 'can simplify projects in several parts and remove any metal inserts leading at the same thickness of the individual components (thick or thin wall).

Reducing costs and effectiveness

The working standard thermoplastic materials can reduce the time and stages of production compared to normal vulcanized rubber. And 'can practise blowing bodies cables in various forms ID / OD, maintaining a good control of tolerance, it is also possible to add moulding processes for listing or injection moulding sandwiches, little practical for vulcanized rubber.

E 'can also reduce costs thermal solder components to create larger groups. Recycling waste of renewable thermoplastic elastomers can conserve physical properties even after several major recycling.

The specific weight of thermoplastic elastomers present values between 15% and 45% lower compared to NBR rubber or ECO, which can produce components very light.

Thanks to the thermoplastic elastomer components is possible to design better and faster, with the possibility of reducing the costs of 15% if not more.
