Thermoplastic elastomers. (Materials).This manufacturer of hard and soft thermoplastic elastomers 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. , thermoplastic A polymer material that turns to liquid when heated and becomes solid when cooled. There are more than 40 types of thermoplastics, including acrylic, polypropylene, polycarbonate and polyethylene. compounds and alloys offers numerous product lines, among them TPEs for medical and high clarity applications, for fire retardant fire retardant Public health A chemical used to resist combustion, which may contain polybrominated biphenyls and antimony oxide needs, for high performance uses, soft flex TPEs in super soft grades and TPEs for overmolding applications. The firm has also created a 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 that can be overmolded with good adhesion onto polar substrates, offering optical clarity (up to 98%) for medical and other visual applications where see or read through properties are essential.
