Plastic Rubber Chemicals

Plastic rubber also referred to as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) is a group of materials that combines properties of plastics and rubber. This novel material combines the elasticity of rubber and the processing of thermoplastics with their ability to be recycled. Plastic rubber materials are widely used in different industries because of the features and various uses they hold.

Among the plastic rubber products, there are plastic rubber bands as one of the most popular types. These bands have the following benefits compared to ordinary rubber bands: They are more durable, they do not get easily damaged by ultraviolet light, and they do not lose their colour easily. The fact that plastic rubber materials can be processed like conventional plastics has made them a widely acceptable choice in many industrial applications.

Some key applications of plastic rubber include:

• Automotive industry: Applicable in automotive weather seals, hoses and vibration dampers.

• Consumer goods: It is used to make soft grip handles, phone cases, and footwear.

• Medical devices: Used in tubing, seals and flexible parts
