Product Description
A specialty TPE material formulated with low density to provide good buoyancy in water. Features low density, water repellency, and durability, suitable for aquatic or water-related applications.
Key Characteristics
1. Low Density, High Buoyancy: Density as low as <0.90 g/cm³ ensures flotation.
2. Water Repellent & Resistant: Low water absorption, stable performance when immersed.
3. Soft, Elastic, and Tear-Resistant.
4. Weather & UV Resistant: Suitable for outdoor/water use.Main Applications
Swimming aids, water toys, buoys, fishing gear, diving accessories, marine fenders, bath mats, and other water-related products.
Processing Methods
Injection Molding, Extrusion.
Environmental Certifications
ROHS, REACH, Heavy Metal Free. Some grades comply with food contact requirements.
Color
Various bright colors available (common warning/visible colors like orange, yellow, blue).
Storage Conditions
Dry, dark, room temperature. 12 months.
