Definition of TPE

Thermoplastic Elastomer, whose English name is Thermoplastic Elastomer, is usually abbreviated as TPE and is also known as thermoplastic rubber

Main features

It has the elasticity of rubber, does not require vulcanization, can be directly processed into shape, and can be reused. It is replacing rubber in various fields.

General formula composition

Process flow and equipment

Process flow and equipment - Mixing materials

Premixing method

All the materials are pre-mixed in the high-speed mixer and then enter the cold mixer, and are directly fed into the twin-screw extruder for granulation.

Partial premixing method

Put SEBS/SBS into the high-speed mixer, add part or all of the oil and other additives for premixing, and then enter the cold mixer. Then, feed the premixed main material, fillers, resin, oil, etc. in separate ways through the weight loss scale, and extruder for granulation.

Separate feeding

All the materials were separated and measured respectively by loss-in-weight scales before being fed into the extruder for extrusion granulation.
