Processing Guides of TPE
Here you'll find valuable tips and answers to frequently asked questions about the processing of TPE (thermoplastic elastomers) through extrusion, injection molding, and co-extrusion. Leverage our expertise to achieve optimal results and effectively tackle any challenges you may encounter in your projects.
The Co-extrusion Process
Unlocking Innovation: The Power of the Co-extrusion Process
During co-extrusion, various plastics from different extruders or cylinders are joined together. The source materials are not mixed but bonded together in several layers by heating.
The Injection Molding Process
Discover how our injection molding delivers high-quality, custom plastic parts quickly and accurately.
Discover how advanced injection molding techniques enable high-quality, customized plastic parts with speed and accuracy.
The Extrusion Process
How are TPE processed during extrusion processes?
During extrusion, the source material is filled as granules into the screws. The high temperatures within the heated cylinder make the material melt. The nozzle brings the molten material into the desired profile shape. After cooling and solidifying, it can be cut to the desired lengths.
