KRAIBURG TPE provides a complete TPE product portfolio and provides expertise in developing specific products and customer-specific formulations.
New compounds with excellent adhesion to polyamides complement the product.
TPE requirements for complex dental and oral hygiene products range from cost-effective processing, good flowability to the need for tolerance to specific ingredients in care products. These compounds have good organoleptic properties and are non-irritating to the skin and oral mucosa. In addition, they provide reliable adhesion to "hard" plastics in multi-component products, and have a pleasant touch and good grip.
Lars Goldmann, Sales Customer Director of KRAIBURG TPE, said: "We are constantly diversifying our product portfolio based on our solid customer base and many years of market experience. Therefore, the TPE series we offer now comply with food safety regulations and can be specifically tailored to special requirements Customize. These products also include formulations for components of the UL series electric toothbrush that are in contact with lithium ion batteries. "
KRAIBURG TPE's THERMOLAST K brand compounds meet the food and drug regulatory requirements set by Regulation (EU) 10/2011.
TPE experts also provide compounds that comply with China ’s GB 4806 raw food safety regulations. In addition, the range of material types with excellent peel strength, rigid thermoplastic adhesion, and food contact (FC) certification has been expanded to polar plastics.
Although, the original plan to showcase the new TPE series for dental and oral hygiene products at the Interbrush event in May has been postponed. However, these materials will be sold globally as planned from summer 2020.
