Thermoplastic Elastomers
MATERIAL FAMILIES
Thermoplastic Elastomers Resin
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a unique class of plastics that combine the elastic properties of rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastics. TPEs are flexible, durable, and recyclable, making them ideal for a wide range of applications in automotive, electronics, medical, and consumer products.
At SUKE Plastics, we provide high-quality TPE compounds including TPE, TPU, TPV, and TPEE with customizable hardness, color, and performance characteristics to meet your specific needs.
What Are Thermoplastic Elastomers?
TPEs are block copolymers or polymer blends that behave like rubber at room temperature but can be melted and reshaped like plastic at elevated temperatures. This makes them ideal for applications requiring:
- High flexibility and softness
- Excellent impact and abrasion resistance
- Good chemical and weather resistance
- Easy processing via injection molding or extrusion
- 100% recyclability
