What is Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) and its properties? TPEs are a group of elastic like materials that join the qualities of elastic with the recyclability and handling benefits of plastics. Properties- The key properties of TPE-A include: 1- Good processability. 2- High temperature resistance (up to 170°c) 3- Good solvent resistance. 4- Creep dimensional stability. 5- Wear resistance. 6- Good low temperature flexibility. 7- Impact resistance and elastic recovery. 8- Excellent bonding to polyamide engineering materials. What are the properties of thermoplastic elastomer? Physical, mechanical, thermal, electrical, and optical properties of TPE. TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a lightweight, flexible, and fatigue resistant sheet which is a combination of rubber and polypropylene. It provides more flexibility than polypropylene or copolymer, but more rigidity than LDPE. What are the main properties of elastomers? Temperature. … Hardness. … Compression set. … Tensile Strength. …
