The FAQs about TPE materials
A bonding layer is formed at the interface between hard plastic and soft rubber,
Transparent TPE, specifically speaking, is thermoplastic elastomer, while TPR is translated from English and strictly speaking is called thermoplastic rubber. This is the most basic difference. TPE is generally modified from the basic material SEBS, while TPR is modified from the basic material SBS.
Transparent TPE is used in household appliance shells, handles, grips, etc. It exhibits very good hand feel, anti-slip and labor-saving properties, and is easy to color and process. It also has a very wide design space.
Thermoplastic TPE customization
<\/p>Greatly improves the overmolding adhesion between TPE soft rubber and hard plastic. False overmolding hardly involves the compatibility of the two materials. The overmolding of materials is achieved through mechanical force, through the design of molds and products and surface treatment, and through the embedding effect, so that the soft rubber and hard plastic can be bonded together.
TPE is used in overmolding injection bonding, with TPE soft rubber as the outer cladding layer,
Thickness of 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 difficult, adhesion strength is low, and hand feel is poor. If the TPE layer is too thick, on the one hand the cost is higher, and on the other hand defects such as shrinkage and bubbles are prone to occur.
TPE high transparency material has different product properties in different applications. Thermoplastic elastomer is also called TPE material. Transparent TPE not only has the processing properties of thermoplastic plastic, but also has the physical properties of vulcanized rubber. This is the so-called advantage combination of plastic and rubber. Transparent TPE is widely used in people's life and production.
Thermoplastic TPE customization
<\/p>Common matching hard materials are mainly plastics, as well as metals and fabrics. TPE overmolding with fabric is mainly used in luggage products, the same as with metal overmolding, generally false overmolding. Real overmolding is more common in two-shot injection molding and double-color injection molding, that is, the main material for TPE overmolding injection is plastic.
When using a common injection molding machine for two-shot overmolding of nylon, it is recommended that before overmolding,
Transparent TPE is used in stationery, sports equipment, etc., and has good UV resistance, chemical resistance, and is easy to color and process.
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 required aging resistance, yellowing resistance and other characteristics necessary for producing transparent TPE, and also promotes excellent characteristics such as high temperature resistance and corrosion resistance. Only then was transparent TPE produced.
Thermoplastic TPE customization
<\/p>First preheat and bake the nylon parts, because nylon has strong water absorption and the overmolding requires a high molding temperature; preheating before overmolding can remove moisture and facilitate rapid hot overmolding.
