Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) Designed for Versatile Applications

Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are the premier choice for critical applications that require enhanced durability, heat and chemical resistance. TPVs offer superior elasticity and long-term performance, and due to more efficient processing and their recyclability, TPVs are a sustainable alternative to thermoset rubber like EPDM in sealing applications. 

Thermoplastic styrenic block copolymers (TPS, SBC or TPE-S) are TPEs well known for their compounding versatility, broad hardness range, and suitability for customization to unique requirements, like tactility, color and gloss. TPS compounds differentiate products by adding cushioning, protection, or a soft-touch grip. 

Thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) compounds are customized to meet your unique requirements. Whether you require high strength and stiffness, or exceptional softness and flexibility, Teknor Apex TPU compounds deliver superior performance and a wide range of haptics – perfect for creating truly unique products.

Teknor Apex offers TPE solutions featuring recycled, bio-based, and renewable content, reducing reliance on virgin petroleum and promoting a circular economy. We recognize that the key to success is collaboration and transparency across the value chain and work closely with our partners to develop customized sustainable solutions.
