Advantages of TPE in Dongguan Dechuang Chemical Industry:
1. It can be processed by common thermoplastic molding machines without special processing equipment.
2. The production efficiency can be greatly reduced from about 20min to less than 1min by directly vulcanizing with a rubber injection molding machine. As the required vulcanization time is very short, it can be directly vulcanized by an extruder and the production efficiency is greatly improved.
3. Easy to recycle and reduce the cost. Waste materials generated in the production process (raw edge escaping, extrusion of waste glue) and waste products that finally appear can be directly returned for reuse. Used TPE old products can be simply recycled, reducing environmental pollution and expanding resource sources.
4. Energy conservation. Most thermoplastic elastomers do not require vulcanization or the vulcanization time is very short, which can effectively save energy. Take the production energy consumption of high-pressure hose as an example: 188MJ for rubber and 144MJ for TPE, which can save energy by more than 25%.
5. Wider application fields. Because TPE has the advantages of both rubber and plastic, it opens up a new application field for the rubber industry.
6. It can be used to strengthen and toughen plastics. The self-reinforcing property is large, the formula is simplified, the influence of the compounding agent on the polymer is less restricted, and the quality performance is easier to master. However, TPE's heat resistance is not as good as that of rubber. As the temperature rises, the physical properties of TPE decrease greatly, thus its application scope is limited. At the same time, compression deformation, elastic recovery and durability are inferior to rubber, and the price is often higher than that of similar rubber. In spite of this, the advantages of TPE are still very outstanding, and various new TPE products have been continuously developed. As a new energy-saving and environment-friendly rubber raw material, its development prospect is very promising. Scope of application of transparency series: common transparent toys, sports equipment, etc. Product performance: better transparency, flexibility and lower price, with broad design space.
The scope of application of transparency series: high transparent toys, adult products, suction cup materials, sports equipment, sealing rings, etc.
Product performance: hardness ranges from ultra-soft to 90A. Its transparency, glossiness and comfortable hand feel are widely used in adult products. It has good ultraviolet resistance, weather resistance and high temperature resistance, and can be used outdoors for a long time.
