Enhancing Smart Bottle Functionality with Advanced TPE Solutions


KRAIBURG TPE, a global manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers, delivers these benefits with its FC/AD/PP series, an innovative material solution designed for sustainability, manufacturing efficiency, and compliance with global food contact regulations.

Breaking away from the traditional water bottle mold, smart bottles use advanced technology to maintain hydration levels throughout the day, promoting better hydration habits. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) enhance the functionality of these bottles by ensuring better grip, safety, and long-lasting performance.

KRAIBURG TPE, a global manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers, delivers these benefits with its FC/AD/PP series, an innovative material solution designed for sustainability, manufacturing efficiency, and compliance with global food contact regulations.

Solution for streamlined and optimized manufacturing
KRAIBURG TPE’s FC/AD/PP series optimizes flow properties, enabling efficient and precise manufacturing.
Featuring a hardness range of 30 to 90 Shore and designed for excellent adhesion to polypropylene (PP), it ensures the reliability and functionality of daily-use bottles. 
The material is also easy to process using injection molding, extrusion, and 3D printing.

Solution for food contact-safe use
Meeting strict safety standards, including Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, US FDA CFR 21, GB 4806.7-2023, EN71-3, as well as REACH, SVHC, and RoHS regulations, KRAIBURG TPE’s FC/AD/PP series is food-contact safe for use in smart drinking bottles.
It is also free from animal ingredients, heavy metals, phthalates, bisphenol A, and latex, allowing for safe use in packaging materials.

Solution for sustainable and stylish designs
The FC/AD/PP series is a sustainable solution that advances environmental responsibility through the ISCC PLUS mass-balance approach, ensuring traceability and reducing environmental impact in response to the growing demand for eco-friendly products. 
 Moreover, KRAIBURG TPE offers in-house pre-coloration and customization, providing a wide variety of colors to meet different design requirements, for flexibility in designing innovative drinking bottles.
