Factors Fueling the Growth of Thermoplastic Elastomers
Coupling the complete recyclability of TPEs to their broad range of properties and their processing flexibility will accelerate their growth through the environmentally conscious '90s.
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) make up a unique class of polymers with many of the positive physical attributes of vulcanized rubbers, such as low compression set and high flexibility, but which can be processed by conventional thermoplastic fabrication techniques, like injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. In many applications, depending on p...
