    Description

    Product Name

    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 matching

    Main 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.

    Color

    Natural semi-transparent, off-white, or light beige (varies with base polymer)

    Odor

    Storage Conditions

    Store in a cool, dry, well-ventilated warehouse. Avoid direct sunlight, moisture absorption, and contamination. Recommended shelf life: 12 months.

    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).
