Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

.Ist das alles die gleiche seite?

Thermoplastic elastomers combine rubber-like flexibility with the processability of standard thermoplastics, allowing them to be moulded or extruded like a plastic while behaving like rubber in use. The suppliers below produce and supply TPE materials and compounds for European manufacturing and converting industries.

    What Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) suppliers provide

    Suppliers in this category cover thermoplastic elastomer materials, including styrenic, olefinic, and other TPE families, supplied as raw granulate or custom-formulated compounds. Their core competence lies in matching hardness, elasticity, and chemical or temperature resistance to the application, whether that is overmoulding, seals, or flexible components. Many also provide custom colour matching, formulation development, and technical support for processors converting the material by injection moulding or extrusion. In the pre-selection phase, compare which TPE families, hardness ranges, and industries each supplier specialises in, rather than individual grade datasheets.

    Relevant standards

    TPE materials are commonly designated using the polymer abbreviations defined in ISO 1043. Suppliers placing materials on the EU market must comply with the REACH Regulation EC 1907/2006. Supplier quality management is typically certified to ISO 9001.

    Frequently asked questions

    How do thermoplastic elastomers differ from conventional rubber?
    Thermoplastic elastomers can be melted and reprocessed like standard plastics, while conventional vulcanised rubber cannot. This makes TPE suited to standard plastic processing equipment such as injection moulding machines.
