TPE material, also known as thermoplastic elastomer, is a polymer material that combines the characteristics of plastic and rubber, shows the high elasticity of rubber at room temperature, and can be plasticized and molded at high temperature (no need for vulcanization). Therefore, thermoplastic elastomer has the physical and mechanical properties of vulcanized rubber and the processing properties of thermoplastics.
It is a new type of polymer material between rubber and resin, and is often referred to as the third-generation rubber.
