Many of our TPE products also meet or exceed applicable requirements of Underwriters Laboratories (UL); the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA); as well as specifications set out by other governmental, regulatory, industrial agencies plus automotive OEMs and military end-users.

Our thermoplastic elastomers are among the fastest-growing plastics materials...and for many great reasons.

• TPEs are a unique class of engineering materials combining the look, feel and elasticity of conventional thermoset rubber with the processing efficiency of plastics.
• Because TPEs are thermoplastics, their melt-processability makes them very suitable for high-volume injection molding and extrusion. They can also be reclaimed and recycled.
• As elastomers, TPEs exhibit true elasticity. Our range of grades encompasses rubberlike properties and offer a wide range of durometers, low compression set, and high elongation.
