THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS FEATURING HIGH PERCENTAGE OF RENEWABLE RESOURCES

摘要

A thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) range for injection moulding that is formulated with up to 70% renewable resources, compared to typical compounds that use a maximum of 15%-20%, have been developed by Polyone's GLS Thermoplastic Elastomers business, based in Shanghai, China. The Versaflex Bio family of TPEs compares favourably to typical styrenic-based TPEs and is available with bio-content levels ranging from 63%-70% and hardness levels ranging from 40-70 Shore A.
