Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
TPEs combine elastomeric flexibility with the processing ease of thermoplastics—eliminating time-intensive cure cycles, reducing waste and offering faster cycle times. Unlike traditional rubbers, TPEs can be injection-molded or extruded, regrinded and recycled without major performance loss—supporting lower manufacturing costs and better sustainability. At Teknor Apex we leverage TPEs to deliver design flexibility (colorability, co-molding, lighter parts) while maintaining the durability and functional performance that rubber applications demand.
Teknor Apex offers one of the industry’s most comprehensive TPE portfolios, covering families such as SBC (styrenic block copolymers), TPO (thermoplastic polyolefins), TPV (thermoplastic vulcanizates), TPU (thermoplastic polyurethanes), and more. These materials serve diverse applications—from automotive and industrial to healthcare and consumer products—under brands like Sarlink®, Monprene®, Medalist® and Elexar®. We support global supply, technical assistance and custom development to meet your processing and performance needs.
Standard TPEs from Teknor Apex are inherently recyclable—both during production (regrind/scrap reuse) and at end-of-life—unlike many thermoset rubbers. We also offer sustainable grades with post-consumer recycled (PCR) content and bio-based feedstocks. For example, our Monprene® R6 CP-10100 series features up to 60% PCR content and delivers validated carbon-footprint reduction. Our sustainable TPE solutions support circular manufacturing and reduced environmental impact without sacrificing performance.
TPEs from Teknor Apex serve a wide array of industries: automotive (seals, hoses, under-hood components), building & construction (weather-stripping, profiles), healthcare/medical devices (tubing, housings), consumer goods (soft-touch grips, overmolding), wire & cable (jackets, insulation) and industrial equipment (gaskets, seals). Because TPEs offer process efficiency, design flexibility, and performance adaptability, they are chosen wherever rubber-like behavior and thermoplastic processing benefit the application.
Absolutely. We offer tailored TPE formulations with adjusted hardness, elastomeric performance, color, bonding behavior, and regulatory compliance. Whether you need a soft-touch consumer elastomer, an ultra-durable TPV for automotive, or a medical-grade TPE for a device, our technical teams collaborate throughout design and production to deliver the optimal solution—balancing functionality, cost and manufacturability.
Sustainable TPEs help manufacturers reduce environmental impact by:
Enabling recycling of production scrap and end-of-life parts due to thermoplastic structure
Incorporating recycled or bio-based feedstocks to conserve resources and lower carbon footprint
Simplifying processing via injection or extrusion (lower energy vs. rubber vulcanization)
By choosing Teknor Apex’s sustainable TPEs, companies meet sustainability goals and circular-economy standards while maintaining material performance and supply reliability.
