TPE materials have many excellent properties. TPE strip has not only high elasticity but also excellent characteristics of plastic. It has a broad hardness range and is environmentally friendly. It is usually used in doors and windows, furniture, and cars. TPE extrusion strips can play the role of sealing, sound insulation, and heat insulation. Next, let’s talk about the advantages of TPE strips:

TPE is Thermoplastic Elastomer. TPE is a special type of elastic plastic. It has rubber-like elastic properties. At the same time, TPE has the processability of thermoplastics. This material has found success in a wide range of applications. Because it combines the advantages of rubber and plastic.
TPE itself has rubber-like elasticity and flexibility. Products processed through extrusion can therefore also possess these properties.
TPE usually has good weather resistance. It is resistant to UV rays, climate change, and other external environmental factors.
The elasticity of TPE extrusion gives it superior vibration-absorbing properties in some applications. This helps reduce vibration and noise.
TPE can be adjusted in appearance and performance by adding color and other additives. This can meet specific design requirements.
TPE Extrusion refers to the processing of thermoplastic elastomers into products of various shapes through the extrusion process. Extrusion is a common plastic processing method. The material is heated to a plastic state. The required cross-sectional shape is formed through the die of the extrusion machine. The following are applications of TPE Extrusion.
TPE Extrusion is commonly used in the production of seals, pipes, and other sealing products. Because they provide superior elastic sealing properties.
TPE Extrusion is used in the manufacture of cable sheathing. Because they have good chemical and environmental resistance.
Because TPE has good elasticity and weather resistance, it is widely used in the automotive industry. For example, manufacturing seals, windshield wipers, hoses, etc.
TPE Extrusion is suitable for the production of flexible pipes and pipe connections. Because it has good durability and plasticity.
In the medical industry, TPE Extrusion can be used to manufacture soft medical device parts. Such as pipes, seals, etc.
Some TPE products are recyclable. This helps reduce environmental impact. This depends on the formulation of the material and whether recyclable processing facilities are available.
The advantages of TPE Extrusion include cost-effectiveness, high production efficiency, material recyclability, good chemical stability, and suitability for a variety of shapes and uses.
