TPE, a material that combines plastic and rubber and has seen rapid growth in recent years, has found widespread application in numerous fields thanks to its excellent performance and easy processing.

In the plastic and rubber processing industry, material drying is a common pretreatment step. Drying is especially crucial for hygroscopic materials like nylon and PC. Otherwise, moisture will evaporate during high-temperature processing, causing bubbles and silver streaks in the finished product, and even affecting material performance.

TPE raw materials, as a widely used elastomer material, are gaining attention for their excellent recyclability. This not only provides strong support for resource recycling but also aligns with the broader trend toward sustainable development. So, why exactly is TPE recyclable?

When processing TPE compounds, temperature control is a key factor affecting product quality and processing efficiency. Excessively high or low temperatures can lead to a series of problems.

TPE toys aren't as cold and hard as plastic, nor as thick and sticky as silicone. Instead, they possess a perfectly balanced softness and agility, making them a highly sought-after material in the toy market in recent years.

TPE thermoplastic elastomer products are common in daily life, from baby teething rings to kitchen seals, and are closely related to our daily living. The safety of such materials naturally becomes a focal point of concern, and the question of “which is safer, dark or light-colored TPE?” often arises. In fact, color itself is not the key factor determining TPE safety; the underlying raw materials, additives, and manufacturing processes are the core factors. Why is that? Let's take a look at the analysis by the editor of Huizhou Zhongsu Wang.
