TPE SERIES APPLICATION AREAS

TPO
 Compounds based on
metallocene
polyolefins .		 Replacement for PVC, Tyres, Flooring
accessories and areas requiring good fluid
resistance. Mechanical and temperature
properties improved by cross linking.
 
 
TPE-SBS
 SBS Based Window profile gaskets, cable, non-slip feet, noise absorbing compounds, sealing.
 
 
TPE-SEBS
 SBS Based 'Soft Touch” grips, cable clamps, sealing
rings, cable-inlets and strain relief, outdoor
components, winter sports equipment,
speaker diaphragms
 
 
TPV
Compounds based on polyolefin and vulcanised rubber Applications requiring medium softness
and higher heat and fluid resistance than
SEBS e.g. automotive under-bonnet
