Global Thermoplastic Elastomers Market Will Increase Strongly Through 2012 - 2018
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) are a family of polymers which despite stretching repeatedly does not lose its intrinsic shape. These are considered to be real thermoplastics, and hence do not require vulcanization or curing. Thermoplastic elastomers are processed using methods such as injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. This material has the advantage of both rubbery materials and plastic. For instance, thermoplastic elastomers are can be easily processed, colored, extremely resistant to harsh weather conditions, good UV resistance, soft, resistant to...
