Designing with Thermoplastic Elastomers: Material Selection and Performance Optimization
TPEs also offer several advantages over traditional elastomers, including better weatherability, chemical resistance, and recyclability. Traditional elastomers are susceptible to degradation when exposed to UV radiation, heat, and chemicals, which limits their use in outdoor applications. Thermoplastic Elastomers, on the other hand, offer excellent weatherability and chemical resistance, making them suitable for a wide range of applications. SBCs are commonly used in footwear, adhesives, and soft-touch applications. They are easy to process and have excellent elasticity and low compression set. TPUs are used in a variety of applications, including automotive parts, medical devices, and sports equipment. They offer excellent abrasion resistance, high tensile strength, and good flexibility at low temperatures.
