Kraiburg TPE will launch a new FC / AD / PA THERMOLAST K series thermoplastic elastomer (TPE).
This product offers a wide range of design options and good cost effectiveness, designed to meet the needs of TPE / PA complex applications in the consumer industry.
Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) has the advantages of softness, good grip, sealing performance, etc., which is of great significance to many high-quality consumer products. In order to continue to develop product potential, KRAIBURG TPE will demonstrate an innovative TPE technology, which is characterized by excellent adhesion to polyamides and compliance with Food Contact Materials Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.
The new FC / AD / PA THERMOLAST K series TPE compounds have excellent processability and excellent surface characteristics, and no finishing is required after leaving the mold. This cost-effective, processable material can be injection molded directly onto PA6 and PA6.6 without the need to add any translucent or precisely colored adhesive primer. Their hardness ranges from 40 to 80 Shore A. Even in low wall thickness, they have good soft touch and non-slip grip. They also have excellent tensile strength, elongation at break, and abrasion resistance. During the development of these special TPEs, certain established requirements were also met, such as the requirements of the Food Contact Materials Regulation (EU) No. 10/2011.
Dirk Butschkay, Business Product Marketing Manager, KRAIBURG TPE Europe, Middle East and Europe, said: "These materials, developed specifically for the consumer industry, show that our development technology is firmly oriented to our markets and customers. Our products meet thermoplastic elasticity Increasing demand for elastomers, these elastomers provide optimized and functional properties in bicomponent polyamide applications and help our customers stay competitive in dynamic market segments.
