Eco-conscious Monprene® Thermoplastic Elastomer with 35% Sustainable Content – Product Guide

Our latest line of Monprene® TPEs is made with 35% sustainable content that includes both post-consumer recycled material and UBQ™ -- a sustainable plastic substitute converted entirely from organic and unrecyclable waste.  Biobased and highly recyclable, UBQ™ offers a climate-positive solution towards a circular economy. By replacing oil-based raw materials with UBQ™ in TPE formulations, Teknor Apex is helping to address the global waste crisis, preserving finite natural resources, and reducing the carbon footprint of end products which utilize our TPE.

Available in 70 Shore A and pre-colored black, the Monprene® S3 CP-15170 BLK performs and processes comparably to prime TPE. This is a high flow grade designed specifically for injection molding or overmolding onto polypropylene. This TPE is ideal for consumer products applications requiring flexibility or soft-touch components like anti-slip or comfort grip, and improved ergonomics, for example, in hand and power tools, consumer electronics, and appliances.
