TPR materials are widely used in daily necessities, adult products, hardware tools, luggage wheels, sports equipment, toy products, automobile parts, medical supplies, wires and cables, electronic and electrical appliances, communication instruments, footwear products and so on. Among them, shoes and toys industry is mainly SBS-based TPR application areas, SEBS-based modified materials are mainly used for aging resistance, weather resistance, high requirements for physical properties and tensile strength, ultra-low material hardness (Shaw's hardness of 5 degrees or less) of the product.
TPR, or thermoplastic elastomers as most users call them, and such elastomers mainly refer to styrenic elastomers SBS and SEBS-modified materials.TPR material suppliers refer to SBS matrix-modified elastomeric materials as TPR, while SEBS-modified materials are called TPEs.In fact, TPEs are a broad concept, which not only includes styrenic elastomer SEBS and SBS modified materials, but also includes TPU, TPV, TPEE, TPO and other elastomer materials.
