DuPont Dow, PolyOne jointly develop TPE compounds. (Contracts, Licenses).DuPont Dow Elastomers, Wilmington, DE, and PolyOne, Cleveland, OH, have signed an agreement to jointly develop new thermoplastic elastomer Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. (TPE TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer TPE Terminal de Paiement Electronique (French) TPE Total Power Exchange TPE Twisted Pair Ethernet TPE Tampines Expressway (Singapore) TPE Therapeutic Plasma Exchange ) compounds based on Engage polyolefin elastomers. DuPont will have access to a broader range of markets and applications for its polymer, thanks to PolyOne's compounding and processing expertise, plus global market presence. PolyOne broadens its olefin olefin (ō`ləfĭn) or olefin series: see alkene. olefin or alkene Any unsaturated hydrocarbon containing one or more pairs of carbon atoms linked by a double bond (see elastomer elastomer (ĭlăs`təmər), substance having to some extent the elastic properties of natural rubber. The term is sometimes used technically to distinguish synthetic rubbers and rubberlike plastics from natural rubber. compound portfolio by utilizing DuPont Dow's patent-pending product and processing technology. Under the agreement, PolyOne will manufacture and market these soft TPE compounds and alloys based on Engage. The products will be offered under the Elastamax product line from PolyOne as a new series called EG 9000 and will be available in extrusion and molding grades in durometer A hardness ranges from 65 to 90. |
