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?

As a polymer material, TPE raw materials are highly sensitive to environmental humidity. They readily absorb moisture from the air during storage or transportation, leading to degraded material properties, processing difficulties, and even compromised final product quality.

With rapid technological advancements and the continuous innovation of small electronic devices and precision instruments, the requirements for their internal connecting wires are becoming increasingly stringent.

Many people worry about whether TPE overmolding will release harmful substances and affect health when used to hold hot water, especially boiling water, in food-contact products such as cups and tableware.

Did you know? Ultra-soft TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) materials typically refer to low-hardness elastomers with Shore A hardness ranging from 0 to 15A or even softer (such as 00 or 0000 grades). Due to their exceptional soft tactile feel, outstanding elasticity, and eco-friendly recyclability, they are widely used in adult products, medical devices, shock-absorbing pads, human body models, and other fields.
