TPEs can match TPV performance

New styrenic thermoplastic elastomers are said to perform similarly tothermoplastic vulcanizates in window gaskets.

Its new series of GainShine TPEs also have advantages over TPVs, such as less — or no — die drool duringcoextrusion of the window gasket and resistance to staining from paints. Compounds in the GS E5 series adhere well to the polypropylene or high-modulus TPE substrate that serves as the rigid supporting component in weatherproof seals in PVC, metal and wood window frames.

Some grades in the series can be processed with the same tooling as PVC profiles at similar throughput rates and die pressures. Rubberlike seal recovery, low-temperature toughness and UV resistance of the GS E5 series provides resistance to moisture and air demanded in this application.

Areas of growth exist for global TPE market

The global thermoplastic elastomer market is maturing in some sectors, but still has areas of growth, Some TPEs are viewed as commodities, and their growth is slowing. The structure for those TPEs is shifting because of price pressure and overcapacity and There’s saturation in some market sectors.

Use of thermoplastic polyolefins (TPOs) in auto bumper fascias and of thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs) and styrenic block copolymers (SBCs) in footwear are two TPE uses that are at the saturation point.

Uses of various TPEs for “soft touch” in sports, appliance, leisure and tool markets are areas that are mature and close to saturation.

TPEs still have many opportunities in the auto market.

Performance standards are changing, and that creates new opportunities. Thermoplastic vulcanizates and SBCs are challenging EPDM materials in auto glazing seals. TPEs also are moving into door seals and trunk seals. And even a basic market like floor mats presents a 300-million-pound opportunity for SBCs.

In the medical market, TPEs continue to see high growth despite early penetration. Prices for TPEs sold into medical applications can be two to three times higher than those sold into commodity applications. SBCs have been dominant in TPE medical uses, but copolyesters also have found a home in breathable films and gowns.

And although emerging market growth has slowed in recent years, China and India remain growth markets for TPEs.
