TPE
TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) is a versatile material that combines the flexibility of rubber with the advantages of thermoplastics. It features a low coefficient of friction, good abrasion resistance, and stable mechanical properties up to approximately 120 °C. Compared to polyurethanes, it has a lower permanent compression value, making it suitable for specific applications. Special variants are also available in food-grade quality. TPE is primarily used for the production of wiper rings and backup rings.
Not sure which material is right for your application?
Tell us your operating conditions and we will help you choose the right solution:
- Operating medium (oil, water, air, chemicals, etc.)
- Working pressure and temperature
- Whether the seal is used in a dynamic or static application
- Dimensions or a physical sample
Based on this information, we will recommend the most suitable material and design, and prepare a non-binding quotation.
