Some basic introduction about TPE pouring materials

TPE pouring materials is a soft plastic materials which are injected by casting or pouring molding.Here TPE refers to the materials are mixed by SEBS,oil and some Chemical additives.

TPE casting or pouring processing :firstly,heating the TPE materials to molten condition by heater(heating temperature:140-180℃).Secondly,Let the molten liquid sprayed or poured into a special casting mold.Finally,casting products can be naturally cooled to become finished products.The whole process are seems to be simple.In fact,  for users who firstly contact with TPE casting products, There’s still a lot to learn,such as:TPE material melting, the selection of the mold materials and mold production.

Type of TPE casting materials:We usually use two kinds hardness of TPE,one is 15(ShoreA),the other is 0(ShoreA).so we just can use very soft TPE materials.

1.SEBS powder mix by oil and some auxiliary: low cost,but it can also have the disadvantages of asymmetry mix, not equal reaction.This caused some bubbles in the final products  2.TPE granules:high cost,well mixed,better final products.

Applications of TPE casting or pouring:sex toys,dolls,medical human model,Damping pad and so on.
