2. Thermoplastic elastomer - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_elastomer

   TPE is commonly used to make suspension bushings for automotive performance applications because of its greater resistance to deformation when compared to regular rubber bushings. Thermoplastics have experienced growth in the heating, ventilation, and air conditioning ( HVAC ) industry due to the function, cost effectiveness and adaptability to ...

3. Food contact materials - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Food_contact_materials

   Food contact material pictogram (left) on a plastic food container in Hong Kong. Food contact materials or food contacting substances (FCS) [1] [2] are materials that are intended to be in contact with food. These can be things that are quite obvious like a glass or a can for soft drinks as well as machinery in a food factory or a coffee machine.

4. Medical grade silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Medical_grade_silicone

   Silicone rubber applications such as catheters are widespread in medicine, but have several limitations. For example, they exhibit poor tear strength and poor resistance to fatigue . Brittle fracture can occur from defects within sections owing to poor control of vulcanization . [ 2 ]

5. Silicone rubber - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone_rubber

   Silicone rubber is an elastomer (rubber-like material) composed of silicone—itself a polymer—containing silicon together with carbon, hydrogen, and oxygen. Silicone rubbers are widely used in industry, and there are multiple formulations.

6. Silicone - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Silicone

   Silicone caulk can be used as a basic sealant against water and air penetration. In organosilicon and polymer chemistry, a silicone or polysiloxane is a polymer composed of repeating units of siloxane (−O−R 2 Si−O−SiR 2 −, where R = organic group). They are typically colorless oils or rubber-like substances. Silicones are used in ...

7. Thermoplastic vulcanizates - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_vulcanizates

   Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are a type of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) that undergo vulcanization processes during manufacturing, giving elastomeric properties to the final product. Vulcanization involves the cross-linking of polymer chains, leading to increased strength, durability, and flexibility.

8. Generally recognized as safe - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Generally_recognized_as_safe

   For substances used in food prior to January 1, 1958, a grandfather clause allows experience based on common use in food to be used in asserting an ingredient is safe under the conditions of their intended use. [3] The FDA can also explicitly withdraw the GRAS classification, as it did for trans fat in 2015. [6]

9. Thermoplastic polyurethane - Wikipedia

   en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermoplastic_polyurethane

   TPU is the right choice when flexibility at low temperatures and/or an abrasion resistant thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is requested. Polyether-based TPU in cases where additional excellent hydrolysis and microbial resistance is required, as well as in cases where extreme low-temperature flexibility is important. Ester-based TPU in cases where ...
