Stable mechanical properties – even after multiple processing cycles
Loop TPE stands for recycled TPE compounds produced in a closed-loop system—cost-effective, high-performance, and sustainable.
Featured Product: Loop TPE
Mechanical Properties
The TPS product family stands out for its thermoplastic processability. Experience with in-process recycling shows that even after multiple 100% reprocessing cycles, the mechanical performance of TPS materials remains remarkably stable.
Your advantage: You benefit from reliable material performance – even during the recycling process.
Recyclable – even without your own TPE recycling streams
Close your material loop—with custom-made TPE compounds from recycled contents. Made from your own production scraps.
Featured Product: Loop TPE
Recyclable
KRAIBURG TPE is taking the next step with Loop TPE:
- Thermoplastic elastomers are highly recyclable
- When collected by grade, they can be melted down and reprocessed at any time
Your advantage: With KRAIBURG TPE, you utilize existing resources. This ensures both recyclability and compliance with recycled content requirements—thereby strengthening the competitiveness and marketability of your products
Application Scenarios – How Loop TPE Works in Practice
Typical examples include sprues that cannot be reused in production, defective TPE parts that are sorted out during the process, and TPE products that are recycled after their use phase on the market.
Your benefit: This way, valuable materials can be kept in the production cycle instead of being disposed of or sold as scrap material.
