Thermoplastic elastomer TPE/TPR, also called artificial rubber or synthetic rubber. Its products not only have the excellent properties of high elasticity, aging resistance and oil resistance of traditional crosslinked vulcanized rubber, but also have the characteristics of easy processing and wide processing methods of ordinary plastics. It can be produced by injection molding, extrusion, blow molding and other processing methods, and 100% direct secondary use after grinding the offcut. Both simplify the processing process and reduce the processing cost, hence TPE/TPR material has become the latest material to replace traditional rubber, its environmental protection, non-toxic, comfortable feel, beautiful appearance, make the product more creative. Therefore, it is also a more humanized and high-grade new synthetic material and a world-standard environmental protection material.
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a thermoplastic material with elasticity and plasticity, its properties and uses are as follows:
Features:
1. Thermoplasticity: TPE material can be plastic at high temperatures, and can be processed by melting, flow and molding. This makes it easy to process with other plastic materials, such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc.
2. Elastomer: TPE material has an elasticity similar to rubber, which can maintain flexibility and elasticity at low temperatures. This means that it can be used in situations that require shock absorption, sealing, clamping, etc., while also providing a good feel and grip.
3. Chemical resistance: TPE material has good chemical resistance and can resist the erosion of most organic solvents, acids and salts. This allows it to be used in a variety of chemical industry applications, such as conveying pipes, valve handles, etc.
4. Environmental protection: TPE material does not contain substances harmful to the human body and the environment, and meets the requirements of environmental protection. In addition, it can be recycled to reduce waste generation.
5. Electrical performance: TPE material has good electrical insulation performance, can be used as the insulation layer of cable, suitable for cable manufacturing industry. It can effectively block the passage of current and ensure the electrical performance of the cable is safe and reliable during use. In addition, the electrical properties of TPE materials are not affected by temperature and environmental changes, and can maintain stable electrical properties in a variety of environments.
6. Mechanical properties: TPE material has excellent mechanical properties, such as high elasticity and fatigue resistance. This makes it very useful in the cable manufacturing industry, as it can maintain its shape and performance despite repeated bending and stretching. The mechanical properties of the TPE material also enable it to withstand the mechanical stress that the cable is subjected to during use, thus extending the service life of the cable.
7. Temperature resistance: TPE material has a good tolerance to temperature and can maintain its performance in a wide temperature range. This means that it can withstand the effects of temperature changes during the use of the cable without affecting its electrical and mechanical properties. In addition, the temperature resistance of the TPE material also enables it to withstand the process conditions such as heat treatment and welding that may be encountered during the manufacture and use of the cable.
Application:
1. Medical field: TPE material is safe, non-toxic and degradable, and is widely used in pharmaceutical packaging, disposable syringes, infusion bags, various catheters, medical equipment accessories, etc.
2. Sports equipment: TPE material is also one of the commonly used materials in the field of sports, such as tension belts, tension tubes, yoga MATS, grip and other indoor fitness equipment and outdoor sports equipment such as frog shoes, flying saucers, swimming goggles are often TPE as raw materials.
3. Instruments and tools: TPE material can provide anti-slip shock absorption function for the product, improve the comfort and durability of the product. It is often used in the packaging of various tools, such as vice, shovel, electric drill, instrument and so on.
4. Home day: Our common ice grid, non-slip carpet, toothbrush wrap, bathroom shower, bag coating, water pipe, kitchen utensils wrap, are made of TPE material.
5. Cable manufacturing: TPE material has a wide range of applications in the cable manufacturing industry. It can be used as an insulating layer and sheath layer of cables, providing good electrical insulation performance and mechanical protection. Due to its excellent elasticity and fatigue resistance, TPE material can be well adapted to the bending and tensile deformation of the cable during use, ensuring the stable operation of the cable. At the same time, the temperature resistance and chemical resistance of TPE materials also make them ideal for manufacturing cables used at high temperatures or under special environmental conditions.
In general, TPE is a multifunctional thermoplastic elastomer material with excellent electrical insulation properties, mechanical properties and temperature resistance characteristics, so it has a wide range of application prospects in the cable manufacturing industry.
