TPE - Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS)

TPE - Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS) Materials

Styrene-Ethylene-Butylene-Styrene (SEBS) based thermoplastic elastomers are versatile and known for their exceptional elasticity and high-performance characteristics. SEBS combines the features of rubber with the processing advantages of plastic, offering excellent flexibility, durability, and resistance to a wide range of environmental conditions. It is particularly valued for its stability and performance in applications requiring flexibility, toughness, warm haptics, broad aesthetics and resistance to weathering and common chemicals.

Characteristics and Properties

Good chemical resistance against many common chemicals, making it suitable for diverse applications.
Soft and Flexible: SEBS TPE grades have rubber-like feel with warm haptics and maintains excellent flexibility.
Thermal Stability: Maintains flexibility over a broad temperature range.

High Elasticity: SEBS TPE grades can be stretched to high elongations and return to its original shape, offering durability and longevity.
Excellent UV and Weather Resistance: Formulated SEBS TPE grades can resist degradation from exposure to sunlight and other environmental factors.
Broad Aesthetics: Easily colorable, there are formulated grades that range from clear to opaque and matte or glossy.

Applications

Consumer Products: Used in items such as grips, handles, bumpers, and other requiring soft-touch.
Medical Devices: Ideal for applications requiring biocompatibility and sterilization, such as tubing, connectors, grips, and flexible medical components.
Automotive: Commonly used in gaskets, seals, tray liners, knobs, and other components requiring flexibility, warm haptics, and resistance to environmental exposure.

Electrical and Electronics: Used for wire and cable applications such as jacketing, insulation or strain reliefs, providing flexibility and durability.
Packaging: Suitable for flexible packaging applications where slip resistance, sealing, toughness, and elasticity are required.
