The FAQs about TPE materials
TPE uses overmolding injection process, common products such as handles, grips, electronic materials, etc.
TPE high-transparency material has different product properties when applied in different areas. Thermoplastic elastomer is also called TPE material. Transparent TPE not only has the processing properties of thermoplastics, but also the physical properties of vulcanized rubber. This is the so-called advantageous combination of the advantages of plastics and rubber. Transparent TPE is widely used in people's life and production.
Transparent TPE, specifically, is a thermoplastic elastomer, while TPR is translated from English, strictly speaking, it is called thermoplastic rubber. This is the most basic difference. TPE is generally modified and shaped from SEBS base material, while TPR is modified from SBS base material.

To achieve the matte appearance of thermoset rubber surface, a rougher mold surface is required. Generally speaking, the rough surface produced by electrical discharge machining (EDM) of the cavity will produce excellent workpiece appearance and make demolding relatively easy. Abrasive methods such as steam blasting, sandblasting or shot blasting, and chemical etching can also be used to produce surfaces with different gloss and appearance.
Since any impurities in TPE material may affect the transparency of the product, attention must be paid to sealing during storage, transportation, and feeding to ensure the cleanliness of TPE raw materials. Especially if TPE raw materials contain moisture, heating will cause the raw materials to deteriorate, so they must be dried. During injection molding, a drying hopper must be used for feeding.

The temperature in the feeding zone should be set quite low to avoid clogging the feed opening and allow entrained air to escape.
To prevent contamination of TPE raw materials and accumulation of old materials or impurities in the screw and attachment recesses, especially materials with poor thermal stability, before use and after shutdown, each part should be cleaned with a screw cleaning agent so that no impurities adhere.
