Well-designed Injection Molding Pla – Material plastic Thermoplastics TPE&TPU for electrical and electronic – Siko

TPE and TPU compounds offer excellent color ability, clarity, flexibility, and elasticity. TPUs are a subset of TPEs – both are block copolymers, made of different building blocks. These material classes can be used for extrusion, injection molding applications and other plastics molding processes. Both material classes will not lose their structural integrity when reprocessed, allowing for the cost-saving reuse of production waste.

Thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE) and thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU), which is a subset of TPE, offer great versatility as alternatives to natural rubber latex, silicone and more compounds for extrusion and injection molding applications. Depending on the demands of your product and industry TPE or TPU could be the compound choice you need.
