The FAQs about TPE materials
TPE elastomer soft gel can be adjusted to the appropriate hardness based on the product's physical property requirements (hardness range Shore 25-90A),
To prevent TPE raw material contamination and old material or impurities from remaining in the screw and attachments, especially materials with poor thermal stability, all parts should be cleaned with screw cleaner before use and after shutdown to ensure no impurities adhere.
The wall thickness of the TPE glue position should be as uniform as possible to achieve the best forming cycle. Transitions between different wall thicknesses should be gradual to reduce fluid flow problems such as air lines and bubbles.

TPE uses overmolding injection processing, common products such as handles, grips, electronic materials, etc.
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 formed by modifying the base material SEBS, while TPR is modified from the base material SBS.
SEBS is the product of hydrogenation of SBS. SEBS has a saturated molecular structure, which leads to very different characteristics of SEBS. It has the necessary aging resistance, yellowing resistance and other characteristics required for producing transparent TPE, and also contributes to excellent properties such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. This is how transparent TPE is produced.

Why is TPE material a good choice for toy dolls? Thermoplastic elastomer TPE soft compounds are increasingly used in the toy industry. In the application field of toys,
The thickness of the TPE/TPR overmolding layer. In most overmolding applications, a wall thickness range of 1.5-3.0mm will ensure good adhesion. If the TPE layer is too thin, injection molding is more difficult, adhesion strength is low, and the feel is poor. If the TPE layer is too thick, on one hand the cost is higher, on the other hand defects such as shrinkage and bubbles are prone to occur.
Since any impurity in TPE material can affect the product's transparency, attention must be paid to sealing during storage, transportation, and feeding to ensure the TPE raw material is clean. Especially if the TPE raw material contains moisture, heating will cause the material to deteriorate, so it must be dried. During injection molding, a drying hopper must be used for feeding.
