TPS, the versatile TPE for high-performance applications
When people talk about TPE, they are usually referring to a styrene block copolymer based on SBS or SEBS. TPE is a versatile material that is produced in a wide range of grades and variants.
At De Beer Plastics, we process over 250 different types of TPS. TPS is often custom-formulated for specific applications. We understand the possibilities and will find the right base material for your product.
SBS vs. SEBS
TPS are usually based on SBS or SEBS elastomers. SBS-based TPS are non-hydrogenated and contain double bonds in their molecules. These materials are generally the more economical TPE grades, which we use for cost-effective applications such as ladder feet, vibration dampers or simple static seals.
Hydrogenated SEBS-based TPSs constitute the largest group of thermoplastic elastomers and offer a wide range of high-quality applications. These TPS variants offer excellent value for money and can be used in a variety of applications, including medical applications and those involving contact with foodstuffs.
