Thermoplastic Rubber TPE | Recycled Elastomers

TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is the general name of thermoplastic elastomer, also called thermoplastic rubber. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are a type of polymeric materials with rubber elastic behaviour and the processable characteristics of thermoplastics. Rubbers have been strategically important since the start of the automotive industry. Thermoplastic elastomers can also act as a rubber. TPE are generally low module flexible materials that can be stretched repeatedly to achieve at least double their original length at room temperature, with the ability to return to approximately their original length when tension is released.
