TPE thermoplastic elastomer is often used in the production of various product surfaces or accessories due to its excellent flexibility and wide range of applications. Matte and glossy are two common surface treatment styles. Many users struggle with the choice, wondering if the matte version is truly more scratch-resistant than the glossy version. The difference in scratch resistance mainly comes from the surface structure and processing technology, and is also significantly affected by the material formulation. Let's explore this with the editor from Huizhou Zhongsuwang.

TPR material has long been widely used in daily necessities, toys, and various accessories due to its soft, skin-friendly, and flexible characteristics. However, many users are concerned about whether its surface is easily scratched and whether its wear resistance can meet their usage needs. In fact, the wear resistance of this material has no fixed standard and is affected by various factors such as formula composition, usage environment, and contact objects. It can adapt to the needs of most daily scenarios. Let's analyze this with the editor from Huizhou Zhongsuwang.

​In the field of rubber-plastic composite processing, Conductive Grade TPR with conductive properties and elasticity advantages, often need to be used in combination with PP, ABS and other hard plastics, a lot of practitioners will be confused about whether the two can achieve stable overmolding.

Halogen-free TPE raw materials are widely used in applications requiring environmental friendliness, such as baby products, electronic accessories, and medical consumables, due to their eco-friendly characteristics. Many users wonder how to color this material and whether it will retain its original environmental properties after coloring.

In the production of TPE products, there are often cases where the raw material meets the expectation but the hardness of the finished product is soft, which affects the assembly and use effect. This hardness distortion phenomenon not only affects product quality, but also may lead to the whole batch of products scrapped, resulting in serious losses.

In waterproof product design, material selection is particularly critical. As a commonly used elastic material, TPE thermoplastic elastomer's suitability for waterproofing has drawn significant attention. Many wonder whether it is appropriate for manufacturing waterproof products and how effective it is in this regard?
