People often come into contact with a variety of synthetic materials, among which TPE is a new type of synthetic material widely used. TPE is called thermoplastic elastomer (Thermoplastic Elastomer), which is a blend of sponge elastomer and linear resin with good mechanical properties and thermoplastic properties. Compared with traditional plastics and rubber, TPE has better elasticity, low temperature resistance and easy molding characteristics. The main components of

TPE are polypropylene (PP), polyethylene (PE), vinyl-butadiene-styrene (SEBS), ethylene-vinyl ester (EVA), etc. Materials with different properties can be made by changing the formula and process. TPE is non-toxic, environmentally friendly and reusable, and is widely used in different fields such as home, medical, automotive, and electronics.

TPE features:

1. Good elasticity: TPE has better elasticity and resilience than traditional plastics and rubber;

2. High and low temperature resistance: TPE has certain high and low temperature resistance and can be used normally within the temperature range of -50 ℃ to 120 ℃;

3. Waterproof, oil-proof, ozone-proof: TPE surface has a certain waterproof, anti-oil and anti-ozone performance, suitable for some special application scenarios;

4. Easy molding: TPE has good plasticity, can be made into different shapes of products through injection molding and other processes;

5. Non-toxic environmental protection: TPE material non-toxic, environmental protection, can be reused. Application of

TPE:

1. Home: TPE material is suitable for making cushions, cushions and other household items, and has the characteristics of softness, durability and easy cleaning;

2. Medical treatment: TPE material can be used for making medical gloves, plugs, pipes and other medical supplies, which can meet the sterility requirements;

3. Automobile: TPE material is suitable for automobile interior decoration, seals and other parts, it has the characteristics of waterproof, oil-proof, and low temperature resistance;

4. Electronics: TPE material is suitable for electronic product accessories such as mobile phone protective covers and earphone lines, and has the characteristics of softness and durability;

5. Toys: TPE material is suitable for making baby toys, pet toys, etc., and has the advantages of softness and environmental protection. As a new type of synthetic material,

TPE has been widely used in various application scenarios because of its good elasticity, low temperature resistance and easy forming. With the improvement of people's requirements for the environmental protection performance of materials, the application prospect of TPE will become broader.
