What is TPS Compound?

TPS compound is a type of thermoplastic elastomer formed and produced based on two materials, SBS and SEBS. Due to its family ties with TPE materials, this compound has both flexibility and elasticity features, as well as the characteristics of plastics, which means that flexible yet resilient products can be produced with this compound. Other advantages of this product include resistance to weather conditions and recyclability.

What are the features of TPS Compound?

Due to the combination of SBS and SEBS materials, this substance has distinct and practical features that we will discuss further:

Flexibility: In addition to flexibility, we can mention another unique feature, which is the polymer memory that allows the product to return to its original shape after a period of physical deformation.

Abrasion and tear resistance: Some products are constantly in friction contact and wear out over time; the use of TPS can reduce product degradation.

Chemical resistance: This compound is resistant to certain chemical solutions and does not degrade.

Easy melting in the production process: During the production of polymer products, it can be ensured that this compound reacts well and easily in the device.

Applications of TPS Compound

Automotive Industry: This material is used in the manufacture of internal car parts such as gear knobs, floor mats, and sealing strips with high flexibility and strength.

Household Goods: Non-slip coatings for tool handles and kitchen appliances.

Medical Industries: Production of medical equipment such as flexible tubes and safety parts.

Footwear and Clothing: Used in the production of soft and comfortable soles for sports shoes.

Industrial Products: Replacement rubber parts, sealants, and shock absorbers.
