What are the properties of thermoplastic elastomers
What are Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and its properties?
TPEs are a group of elastic like materials that join the qualities of elastic with the recyclability and handling benefits of plastics.
Properties–
The key properties of TPE-A include:
1- Good processability.
2- High temperature resistance (up to 170°c)
3- Good solvent resistance.
4- Creep dimensional stability.
5- Wear resistance.
6- Good low temperature flexibility.
7- Impact resistance and elastic recovery.
8- Excellent bonding to polyamide engineering materials.
