TPE · SEBS-Based
SEBS-based thermoplastic elastomers combining rubber-like elasticity with easy thermoplastic processing. Ideal where a premium finish, soft touch and good haptics matter.
TPV · EPDM/PP (General Purpose)
Dynamically crosslinked EPDM/PP blends with low compression set and high elastic recovery, especially in hot environments. Compared with standard TPEs, they resist oils better and offer lower compression set.
TPO · Thermoplastic Polyolefins
Polyolefin-based elastomeric blends balancing stiffness, impact strength and flexibility. For large extruded or thermoformed parts where weight and weather resistance are critical.
TPR · SBS-Based
SBS-based thermoplastic rubbers offering high elasticity, resilience and abrasion resistance at a cost-effective price point. Good processability in both injection moulding and extrusion.
TPV · EPDM/PP (High Performance)
Dynamically crosslinked EPDM/PP blends with low compression set and thermal stability for demanding automotive applications. Compared with standard TPEs, they resist oils better at high service temperatures and offer lower compression set. Used in place of thermoset EPDM rubber-based products.
PVC-P · Flexible PVC Compounds
Plasticised PVC compounds for a wide range of flexible and semi-rigid applications. Hardness, flexibility and transparency are adjusted precisely to your regulatory and performance needs.
PVC-U · Rigid PVC Compounds
Unplasticised, rigid PVC compounds for applications needing high stiffness, durability and dimensional stability. Impact-modified versions available.
