FACTS ABOUT TPE

Replacement of EPDM - or NBR-Rubber with TPE
Possible replacement of most TPE-V compounds with TPE-S
Creating new possibilities in function and design with TPE materials compared to rubber
Target use of halogen free materials, helps TPE replace PVC for interior applications
Special flow properties and possibilities for Hard/Soft combinations (with ABS, PC, PMMA, PA etc.) have brought advantages for TPE-S against TPV’s in the Automotive and Industrial industry

UNISOFT CUSTOMIZED™

NEW CHALLENGES THAT ARE DEMANDING CUSTOMIZED SOLUTIONS

Some special applications require new challenged materials not offered yet in the market. UNISOFT CUSTOMIZED™ material is your right partner for innovative solutions nobody else can offer. As a result, the first available PPO and HIPS adhesion to TPE-S was developed by USP personnel.

Key Benefits

Special problem solving materials

Exclusive development

Customized projects

Customized Styrene-Block-Copolymers

UNISOFT POLARIC™

NEW ACRYLIC BASED TPE’S WITH HIGH CLARITY AND IMPROVED OIL RESISTANCE

Certain applications require high transparency which cannot be achieved by any polyolefin or most TPE materials. With the new possibility to achieve a soft acrylic material, you can combine the softness of a TPE with the clarity of an acrylic material. These materials are available in a wide hardness range of about 35 Shore A to about 35 Shore D. In addition, these materials have an excellent UV resistance and come also with an improved oil and fat resistance.

Key Benefits

High Clarity

Improved Oil resistance

Adhesion to many different substrates

UNISOFT TOUCH™

NEW TPE MATERIALS WITH EXTREME SMOOTH AND DRY SURFACE, LIKE SILK

For some High End products, a special material surface is required. Extremely low tackiness, dry and smooth surface like silk but still soft. We can offer these kind of materials in hardness range > 45 Shore A. In addition, improved oil and skin fat resistance makes sure that this soft touch is a long lasting experience.

Key Benefits

Extreme smooth and silky surface

Improved Oil and fat resistance

More cost efficient than siloxane-based materials

UNILINK TPE-V™

TPE-V MATERIALS BASED ON EPDM/PP FOR PRE-SPECIFIED APPLICATIONS

Many part drawings in the automotive and construction industry contain pre-specified TPE-V materials. UNILINK TPE-V is a great alternative if a specification cannot be changed. We offer UNILINK TPE™ materials in a wide hardness range from 45 Shore A to 50 Shore D and in basic natural and black colors.

Key Benefits

TPE-V compounds based on EPDM/PP

easy processing

Wide hardness range
