    KRAIBURG TPE introduces an advanced new technology platform for thermoplastic elastomer hybrids (TEH) to close the performance gap between thermoplastic elastomers and conventional thermoset elastomer compounds


    .


    TPE manufacturers have struggled to find ways to produce TEHs that rival traditional elastomers


    .


    "In order to bridge the established performance gap between TPEs and elastomers, especially in terms of heat resistance, we are taking a strictly application- and customer-specific approach," said KRAIBURG TPE TPE EMEA Development Director Dirk Butschkau explained


    .


    This approach produces a fully cross-linked elastomeric component, a "tailored" TEH compound – which can be processed economically on injection molding machines for industrial thermoplastics compared to traditional elastomer blends


    .


    The new technology platform provides advanced TPE materials with hardnesses ranging from 55 to 80 Shore A, with significantly improved properties based on different combinations of elastomers and thermoplastics


    .


    The thermoplastic processability of TEH compounds can reduce cycle times by up to 80% compared to rubber


    .


    Other examples are sound and vibration absorbing components in gearboxes, engines and pumps, but also connectors, cable glands and fasteners


    .


    After extensive development and various basic researches, KRAIBURG TPE sees great potential to further expand this new technology
