KRAIBURG TPE is breaking the mold in Asia-Pacific’s innovative medical devices


To enhance housing and enclosure design and performance for the Asia Pacific medical devices market, KRAIBURG TPE offers the THERMOLAST® H HC/AP and HC/AD1/AP series.


Medical device innovation in Asia Pacific continues to improve access to cost-effective, safe medical devices that save patients' lives. Every component of a medical device, including the housing and enclosure, must be designed for efficiency, user confidence, and patient comfort and safety. 

To achieve this, medical equipment OEMs rely on advanced materials with exceptional mechanical, physical, and chemical properties, such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs). TPEs have been utilized to enhance function, protection, and ergonomics. 

KRAIBURG TPE, a leading global manufacturer of thermoplastic elastomers, offers material solutions that satisfy the most exacting development standards for the medical equipment industry. The company also provides custom-engineered TPE solutions for a wide range of consumer product applications. Using TPE series compounds to develop high-performance medical devices guarantees design engineers with greater design flexibility.

THERMOLAST® H series – material solution for Asia-Pacific market

KRAIBURG TPE offers the THERMOLAST® H TPE series, which is specifically designed for the Asia Pacific healthcare and medical markets. THERMOLAST® H  HC/AP and HC/AD1/AP compounds meet a number of international standards, including Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5, GB/T 16886.5, RoHS, and REACH. They are free of PVC and latex and can be sterilized in an autoclave with EtO at 121°C.

The housing and enclosures made with THERMOLAST® H TPE series have soft touch surface characteristics that provide good haptic and usability.   THERMOLAST® H TPE series is available in transparent and natural shades for color variation. Precoloring can also be done in-house, depending on customer requirements and specifications.

Flexing the right shape with HC/AP series

The THERMOLAST® H HC/AP series has a good compression set. Through extrusion and injection molding process, manufacturers are able to mold products and components into desired shapes. Additionally, the series adheres well to PP and PE. 

Good adhesion with polar thermoplastics with HC/AD1/AP series

The THERMOLAST® H HC/AD1/AP series can be processed using multiple injection molding techniques and has good adhesion with polar thermoplastics like PC, ABS, PC/ABS, ASA, SAN, PET, and PETG.

Sustainability successes of our TPE

KRAIBURG TPE’s recent sustainability innovations include a specially developed material solution for automotive, consumer, and industry applications comprising post-consumer recycled (PCR) and post-industrial recycled (PIR) content.
