TPR / TPS – The Most Widely Used Thermoplastic Elastomer

TPR (Thermoplastic Rubber), also known as TPS (Styrenic Thermoplastic Elastomer), is one of the most widely used materials in the TPE family. Made from SEBS or SBS base polymers, it combines the flexibility of rubber with the easy processing of plastic.

·        Soft & Flexible:
Smooth touch and a wide hardness range (Shore 0A to 65D) — perfect for flexible and comfortable products.

·        Non-Slip & Shock-Resistant:
Great grip and cushioning, ideal for shoe soles, grips, and sports gear.

·        Durable & Resilient:
Excellent rebound and fatigue resistance — won’t crack or deform easily.

·        Cold-Resistant:
Stays flexible even at -40°C, ready for tough environments.

·        Eco-Friendly & Safe:
Non-toxic, recyclable, and compatible with standard molding processes. FDA-grade options available for food and medical use.

·        Perfect for Overmolding:
Bonds well with PE, PP, PC, ABS, and more — great for tool handles and electronic casings.
