Compared to processing rubber, thermoplastic processing of TPV can deliver shorter cycle times, higher parts output per hour, and the reuse of scrap produced during processing. These attributes can result in cost reduction, less tooling/machinery, lower scrap costs, and optimization of material logistic costs compared to rubber.
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 ...
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 ...
Rubber Technology is the subject dealing with the transformation of rubbers or elastomers into useful products, such as automobile tires, rubber mats and, exercise rubber stretching bands. The materials includes latex , natural rubber , synthetic rubber and other polymeric materials, such as thermoplastic elastomers .
Also it developed thermoplastic rubber, Innoprene, which has the elasticity of thermosetting rubber and the compatibility of thermoplastic, based on our 20 years’ experience in the production and research technology of EP rubber. Current products' capacity: EP(D)M – 220,000 MT, TPV / KEPA 7,000 MT (as of January 1. 2016)
Rubber toughening is a process in which rubber nanoparticles are interspersed within a polymer matrix to increase the mechanical robustness, or toughness, of the material.By "toughening" a polymer it is meant that the ability of the polymeric substance to absorb energy and plastically deform without fracture is increased.
Kraton is the trade name given to a number of high-performance elastomers manufactured by Kraton Polymers, and used as synthetic replacements for rubber.Kraton polymers offer many of the properties of natural rubber, such as flexibility, high traction, and sealing abilities, but with increased resistance to heat, weathering, and chemicals.
EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer rubber) [1] [2] [3] is a type of synthetic rubber that is used in many applications. EPDM is an M-Class rubber under ASTM standard D-1418; the M class comprises elastomers with a saturated polyethylene chain (the M deriving from the more correct term polymethylene).
