ENFLEX® TPE (TPE-V, TPE-O)
Thermoplastic elastomers are a unique class of materials that combine the key processing and recycling properties of thermoplastics with many of the physical properties of thermoset rubbers such as elasticity, low compression set and high flexibility.
Ravago produces a wide range of different thermoplastic elastomer grades. TPE-S, TPE-V and TPE-O, under the brand names Enflex® and Ensoft®, are produced by Ravago’s factory Enplast Turkey and TPE-S, with the brand name Sconablend®, is produced at Ravago Plastics Germany.
In many aspects one can describe TPE as two phase materials consisting of a rubbery elastomeric component and thermoplastic rigid component. The elastomeric phase determines rubberlike properties such as elasticity, softness, flexibility, compression set and minimum service temperature. The rigid phase determines thermoplastic properties such as hardness, processability, recyclability and maximum service temperature.
TPE Enflex® offers
In general elastomeric compounds provide rubberlike properties such as softness, elasticity, flexibility and low end use temperatures. These materials can also be recycled/re-used like thermoplastics.
General characteristics of TPE’s:
- Retention of properties at elevated and low temperatures (-50°C -+ 125°C (dynamic) -50-+135°C (Static/Peak))
- Wide range of hardness (from 45 Shore A to 60 Shore D)
- Fatigue resistance
- Chemical resistance to aggressive mediums
- Abrasion resistance
- Weathering and ozone resistance
- Ease of processing
- Very low (rubberlike) compression set and good elasticity (that does not change significantly over time) in a wide temperature range
- Recyclability
Special Enflex-V® series properties:
- Adhesion to a broad range of polar and non-polar substrates such as PP, PA, ABS, PC
- Halogen free FR, improved oil resistance, improved temperature resistance, high flow and other specialty grades
- Recyclability and lower processing costs with respect to traditional cured rubbers
- Lower density
- Very good resistance to fatigue and tear strength
- Low fogging
- Flammability (UL 94 V0)
- CSTB, RAL GZ-716/1 approvals
