A novel pathway for silky soft surface manufactured thermoplastic elastomers or polymer

describe:

Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are a class of polymeric materials that combine the properties of both thermoplastics and elastomers. thus, TPE can be regarded as a general term for all thermoplastic elastomers. TPU is a thermoplastic polyurethane elastomer, it is only one category of thermoplastic elastomer TPE. They are highly versatile materials that can be used in a variety of applications, However, due to their unique properties, Thermoplastic elastomers require special processing techniques and modifiers to ensure optimal performance.

Detail

Modifiers are additives that are added to Thermoplastic elastomers during the manufacturing process in order to improve their physical and chemical properties. Common modifiers include plasticizers, lubricants, antioxidants, UV stabilizers, and flame retardants. These additives can help improve the flowability of the material during processing, reduce shrinkage and warpage during cooling, increase strength, and durability, and improve resistance to environmental factors such as UV radiation or extreme temperatures.

Durability Sustainability

Advanced solvent-free technology, without plasticizer, no softening oil, and odorless.
Environmental protection and recyclability.
Available in regulatory-compliant formulations

Si-TPV as a modifer & process additive Guide

Si-TPV 2150 series has the characteristics of a long-term skin-friendly soft touch, good stain resistance, no plasticizer and softener added, and no precipitation after long-term use, especially suitably used for silky pleasant feel thermoplastic elastomers preparation.

Application

Si-TPV as a new feel modifier & processing additive for thermoplastic elastomers or other polymers.It can be compounded to various elastomers, engineering, and general plastic; such as TPE, TPU, SEBS, PP, PE, COPE, and EVA to increase the flexibility, elasticity, and durability of these plastics.
While a highlight of plastic products made with blends of TPU and the SI-TPV additive is a silky-soft surface with a dry feel. This is precisely the type of surface that end users expect of products that they frequently touch or wear. With these feature ,It has extended the range of their applications.
In addition, The presence of Si-TPV Elastomeric Modifiers makes the process cost-effective as it reduces wastage due to expensive raw materials being discarded during processing.

Process aids are also used in the production of Thermoplastic elastomers in order to facilitate the manufacturing process. These aids can include surfactants, antistatic agents, release agents, and other additives that help reduce friction between the material and processing equipment or molds. Processing Aids can also help reduce cycle times by improving flowability or reducing sticking during injection molding or extrusion processes.

Overall, modifiers and process aids play an important role in ensuring optimal performance from thermoplastic elastomers. By adding these additives during production, manufacturers can ensure that their products meet all necessary requirements for strength, durability, flexibility, and other desired characteristics.

A novel pathway for manufactured thermoplastic elastomers or other polymers!
SILIKE Si-TPV Series thermoplastic elastomer is a dynamic vulcanized thermoplastic silicone-based elastomer made by special compatible technology to help silicone rubber dispersed in TPO evenly as 2~3 micron particles under a microscope. Those unique materials combine the strength, toughness, and abrasion resistance of any thermoplastic elastomer with desirable properties of silicone: softness, silky feel, UV light, and chemical resistance which can be recycled and reused in traditional manufacturing processes.
Si-TPV used as raw material directly, has been specifically developed for soft touch over-molding on wearable electronics, accessory cases for electronic devices, automotive, high-end TPE, and TPE wire industries ...
Si-TPV silicone-based thermoplastic elastomers are new elastomers formed by the perfect combination of silicone and different substrates. Through special compatibility technology and dynamic vulcanization technology, fully vulcanized silicone rubber is uniformly dispersed in different substrates in the form of soft particles in the form of islands, forming a special island structure, which gives it rich softness and hardness, excellent and long-lasting smooth and skin-friendly touch and resilience.
