The Versatile Solution for Soft-Touch Applications

Transform your products with Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR), the adaptable elastomer that combines rubber-like softness with easy thermoplastic processing for endless design possibilities.

Understanding TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber)

TPR represents a family of versatile elastomers that bridges the gap between rubber and plastic materials. This innovative material combines the flexibility and softness of rubber with the easy processing characteristics of thermoplastics. Unlike conventional rubber, TPR can be repeatedly melted and shaped using standard plastic processing equipment, eliminating the need for vulcanization. Its unique polymer structure allows for customizable hardness levels and properties, making it ideal for a wide range of applications requiring soft-touch characteristics.

TPR Classifications

General Purpose Grades

Our standard TPR grades offer balanced performance with hardness ranging from 45A to 95A. These grades provide good flexibility and surface finish, making them ideal for common injection molding applications. Their consistent quality ensures reliable processing and end-product performance.

Ultra-Soft Grades

Specially formulated grades with hardness ranging from 25A to 40A, delivering extreme softness and flexibility. These grades excel in applications requiring maximum comfort and cushioning effects, perfect for ergonomic grips and soft-touch overlays.

High Flow Grades

Engineered for complex molds and thin-wall applications, these grades feature enhanced flow characteristics. Available in various hardness levels, they ensure complete mold filling and excellent surface finish in intricate designs.

Grip-Enhanced Grades

Our specialized grades with modified surface characteristics provide enhanced grip and anti-slip properties. These grades maintain their grip characteristics over time, making them ideal for handle overlays and safety applications.

Applications in Modern Industry

TPR has revolutionized various industrial sectors with its versatile properties. In the consumer goods industry, it serves as the primary material for soft-touch handles and grips. From power tools to kitchen utensils, TPR provides comfortable, non-slip surfaces that enhance user experience and product safety.

The footwear sector extensively uses TPR for sole applications. Its excellent wear resistance and flexibility make it perfect for creating comfortable, durable shoe soles. The material's good adhesion to various substrates ensures reliable bonding in multi-material constructions.

Automotive manufacturers rely on TPR for various interior components. From instrument panel overlays to storage compartment liners, TPR's soft touch and durability enhance the vehicle's interior quality while maintaining long-term performance.

In the electronics sector, TPR provides protective and ergonomic solutions. Phone cases, keyboard overlays, and protective bumpers benefit from TPR's shock-absorbing properties and pleasant tactile feel.
