Thermoplastic Elastomers

The production of thermoplastic elastomers is done in twin-screw co-rotate extruders. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are high-strength products that combine plastic and elastomer properties. Major Thermoplastic Elestomers can be given as examples: Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV), Styrene Block Copolymers (TPE-S), Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU), Thermoplastic Polyolefin Blends (TPO), Polyamides (PEBA), Copolyesters (COPE). The performance characteristics of TPE are very similar to commercial rubbers. Its elastomeric phase enables it to exhibit rubbery properties such as elastic recycling and softness.

On the other hand, the thermoplastic phase is processed by extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, etc. They allow processing with classical plastic processing methods such as plastic processing and the use of equipment used in thermoplastics, and are fully recyclable.

Monomex twin screw extruders have been designed so that you can produce creative solutions with specially developed TPEs in your existing and new applications. To obtain correct results, it is necessary to work with Monomex twin screw extruders.
