The difference between TPE and TPEE is a world of difference in performance and application

There are many people who ask the difference between TPE and TPEE? It's just a word difference, and the performance is a world of difference，Today, Dowren, who focuses on the research and development of thermoplastic elastomers, will tell you the difference between TPE and TPEE。

TPE characteristics: thermoplastic elastomer TPE has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the process performance of thermoplastics, has the high elasticity, high strength, high resilience of rubber, and has the characteristics of injection molding, environmental protection, non-toxic and safe, wide range of hardness, excellent colorability, soft touch, weather resistance, fatigue resistance and temperature resistance, superior processing performance, no vulcanization, can be recycled to reduce costs, can be secondary injection molding, and PP, EE, PC, PS, Substrate materials such as ABS are overlaid and bonded, and can also be molded separately.

Performance: excellent hand feel, firm bonding with hard rubber ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PA6, PA66, etc., anti-slip and labor-saving and easy to color, application: home appliance shell, handle, grip, etc.

TPEE characteristics: thermoplastic polyester elastomer TPE is a block copolymer containing polyester hard segment and polyether soft segment, which has the elasticity of rubber and the strength of engineering plastics: soft satin gives it elasticity and makes it like rubber; The hard section gives it processing properties and makes it like plastic: compared with rubber, it has better processing properties and longer service life, compared with engineering materials, it also has the characteristics of high strength, and better flexibility and dynamic mechanical properties. The hardness of TPEE can range from 30-82D on the Shore and its elasticity and strength are between rubber and plastic.

TPEE Product Application: TPEE is mainly used in fields that require shock absorption, impact resistance, flex resistance, tightness and elasticity, oil resistance, chemical resistance, and sufficient strength. Such as: polymer modification, automobile parts, high and low temperature resistant wire sheaths, hydraulic hoses, shoe materials, transmission belts, rotary forming tires, flexible couplings, silencing gears, elevator slides, anti-corrosion, wear-resistant, high and low temperature resistant materials in chemical equipment pipeline valves, etc.
