Thermoplastic Elastomers(Chinese : 熱塑性彈體) is a kind of the characteristics of rubber (high elasticity, compression set, etc.) and with the processing characteristics of plastic (simple process) with environmental friendly. (Generally speaking: thermoplastic elastomer is a rubber having a high flexibility, high elasticity, but also has the characteristics of injection molding, with environmental non-toxic safe, wide range of hardness, excellent coloring, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and high heat resistance, excellent processing performance, no vulcanization necessary, can be recycled to reduce costs, second injection molding, and over-molding with PP, PE, PC, PS, ABS.
From the raw material of the thermoplastic elastomer properties, the cost of TPV, TPR, TPE, TPO, TPU, MPR are being distinguished. And TPE represents family of thermoplastic elastomer.
