TPE materials are polymeric substances that combine the properties of rubber and thermoplastic plastics. They exhibit high elasticity like rubber at room temperature and can be plasticized and molded at elevated temperatures.

In the injection molding process of TPE thermoplastic elastomers, drying treatment is a critical step in ensuring product quality. Whether it is injection molding, extrusion, or blow molding, if the moisture content of the material exceeds the specified limit, it can easily lead to surface defects such as bubbles and surface defects, and even cause serious issues like reduced adhesion and performance degradation. Therefore, scientifically and reasonably determining the drying time for TPE thermoplastic elastomers is a prerequisite for ensuring smooth production and product quality. So, how exactly is the drying time for TPE thermoplastic elastomers determined?

TPE materials are increasingly used in various applications due to their advantages of ease of processing, weather resistance, soft texture, and ease of coloring. However, products made from TPE inevitably exhibit signs of aging over time. How can the aging of TPE materials be slowed down?

Compared to traditional materials, the breakthrough of TPE lies in its ability to combine the advantages of both plastics and rubber. So, does TPE thermoplastic elastomer belong to plastics or rubber? Let’s take a look together with the TPE experts from Shenzhen Zhongsu Wang!

TPE thermoplastic elastomers, as a high-performance material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the ease of plastic processing, are uniquely malleable and environmentally friendly, making them an ideal alternative to traditional rubber materials.

Understanding the manufacturing methods not only helps optimize production processes and improve product quality but also provides theoretical support for material selection and application. So, what are the manufacturing methods for TPE thermoplastic elastomers? Below, the TPE team at Shenzhen Zhongsu Wang will provide a detailed introduction.
