Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) have similar performance properties to elastomers but can be processed in the same way as thermoplastics. It is precisely this ease of processing that is prompting an increasing number of users to successfully replace crosslinked elastomers and flexible PVC with TPE. The TPE market is thus set to grow further over the years to come.
