SynpreneTM thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are compounds based on styrenic block copolymer (SBC) technology. They can be formulated to deliver extremely low hardness values not found in other elastomers. These materials are ideal for applications requiring flexibility over a wide temperature range, excellent colorability, broad processing capability and durability.
Key Characteristics
Synprene TPEs are available in a broad range of hardnesses and are grouped into product families based on specific performance requirements. Primary features and benefits include:
- Low Shore A hardness capability
- Soft-touch overmold processing
- Flexibility over a wide temperature range
- Excellent colorability
- Weatherability
- Transparency (varies by grade)
- FDA compliance
- Abrasion resistance and durability
Additional Product Information
Synprene TPE compounds are engineered to provide excellent elastomeric performance that can be tailored to meet specific application performance needs. Using the latest in compound technology, PolyOne produces highly consistent materials that can be processed via most standard thermoplastic conversion processes.
Synprene TPE compounds are an ideal choice for applications in a variety of industries, including transportation, industrial, consumer, appliance, healthcare, and wire and cable.
