TPE Natural Color Material
Product Description
A base thermoplastic elastomer raw material without any added color masterbatch or pigments, presenting in its natural semi-transparent to off-white color.
Key Characteristics
1. Natural semi-transparent/off-white, no added pigments, high purity
2. Balanced properties with good mechanical strength, elasticity, and processing flow
3. Consistent batch color, providing a reliable base for downstream color matchingMain Applications
Used as a compound base for producing colored TPE pellets; products requiring post-painting or dyeing; industrial parts with no specific color requirements (e.g., seals, bumpers); customers needing to perform their own modifications (e.g., adding flame retardants, antioxidants).
Processing Methods
Injection Molding, Extrusion Molding, Blow Molding
Environmental Certifications
ROHS, REACH. Custom testing like PAHS, Phthalates available upon request.

Critical Precautions
1. Natural Color ≠ Recycled Material: This is virgin material with performance far superior to recycled content.
2. Color Matching Base: For the best and most cost-effective coloring results, it is strongly recommended to use natural color material as the base.
3. Storage: Use opened bags promptly. Reseal unused material to avoid prolonged exposure leading to contamination or slight yellowing.Purge Suggestion
PP or HDPE can be used for routine purging. A more thorough purge is required when switching back to producing light-colored products after running extremely dark colors (e.g., black).
