The difference between TPE and TPEE
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastic plastics.
Firth,TPE Features
Has the high elasticity of rubber, high strength, high elasticres ilience, but also has the characteristic of injection molding processing, environmental non-toxic safety, hardness is wide and has excellent color, texture soft, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature tolerance, the processing performance is superior, no cure, can be recycled to reduce costs, either the secondary injection molding, and PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS, such as matrix materials coated adhesive, also can separate molding.
Second, Properties of transparent series: hardness range from super soft to 90A. Excellent transparency, gloss, and comfortable feel, widely used in adult products. With good uv resistance, weather resistance, high temperature resistance, long-term use for outdoor.
Third,Shot adhesion series of products performance: excellent hand feel, with hard adhesive ABS, PC,PC/ABS, PA6, PA66 and other firm bonding, anti-slip, save energy and easy to color, application scope: home appliances shell, handle, grip, etc.
[TPEE (thermoplastic polyester elastomer) is a block copolymer containing hard and soft polyester segments]
First,TPEE characteristics: elasticity of rubber and strength of engineering plastics; Satin gives it elasticity and makes it rubbery; The hard section gives it processing properties, making it like plastic; Compared with rubber, it has better processing performance and longer service life. Compared with engineering materials, it also has the characteristics of high strength and better flexibility and dynamic mechanical properties. The hardness of TPEE can range from 30 to 82D, and its elasticity and strength are between rubber and plastic.
Second,Application of TPEE products:
TPEE is mainly used in the fields requiring shock absorption, shock resistance, flexure resistance, tightness and elasticity, oil resistance, chemical resistance and adequate strength. Such as: polymer modified, automotive parts, high and low temperature resistance wire sheath, hydraulic hose, shoes, transmission belt, rotary tire, flexible coupling, muffler gear, elevator slide, chemical equipment pipeline valve corrosion resistance high and low temperature materials.
