FEAUTURE

Features of Tefabloc™ TPS

  • ■Its low specific gravity contributes to reducing the weight of products.
    • Specific gravity 0.89 g/cm3~
  • ■We offer a wide range of hardness levels in our product lineup.
    • Duro hardness A 15-95
  • ■Excellent rubber elasticity.
    • Low compression set 35%~
  • ■Excellent tactile feel.
    • ⇒ We can offer a wide range of options, including a smooth texture, a moist texture, and scratch resistance.
  • ■Excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.
    • Because the base polymer does not have double bonds, it has excellent weather resistance and heat resistance.
  • ■Easy to mold and process.
    • - Can be molded using general-purpose extrusion and injection molding machines.
    • - Sprue and runners are recyclable.
    • - Colorable using PE-based master badges
  • ■Heat fusion with olefin resins is possible.


  • For injection (general/food)
  • For extrusion (general and food)
  • Good feel and abrasion resistance
  • special
