Decoding TPE: Why Is It Hailed as the "Crossover Star" Between Rubber and Plastics?
Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) has successfully blurred the boundaries between traditional rubber and plastics through its unique molecular design. Combining the high elasticity and soft touch of rubber with the thermoplastic processing characteristics of plastics, TPE has become a true "crossover star" in materials science. Its key advantage lies in eliminating the vulcanization process, allowing direct forming through injection molding or extrusion, significantly enhancing production efficiency and material utilization. This not only reduces manufacturing costs but also provides exceptional flexibility in designing complex structural components. From environmental performance to processing convenience, from physical properties to cost advantages, TPE is redefining the application boundaries of elastomeric materials, offering innovative solutions across industries.
