What is TPR material

TPR material is a thermoplastic rubber material that has rubber elasticity and does not require vulcanization. It can be directly processed and molded (such as injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, etc.). TPR material is based on thermoplastic styrene butadiene rubber (SBS, SEBS) as the raw material, with added resins (such as PP, PS), fillers, plasticizers, and other functional additives to blend and modify the material. TPR material has good transparency, elasticity, wear resistance, slip resistance, and shock absorption performance, and is environmentally friendly and non-toxic, meeting various environmental testing standards.

TPR material application field

TPR materials are widely used in various daily necessities, such as shoe materials, toys, sports equipment, household items, etc. Due to its environmental friendliness, non toxicity, comfortable hand feel, and exquisite appearance, TPR material has significant advantages in replacing traditional rubber materials and has become a new type of synthetic material.

TPR material processing parameters

When processing TPR materials, the barrel temperature is usually set between 160 ° C and 210 ° C, and the nozzle temperature is between 180 ° C and 230 ° C. The mold temperature should be set between 30 and 40 degrees Celsius to avoid moisture contamination of the mold. In order to improve the filling performance and molding quality of the product, methods such as adjusting injection pressure, changing gate position or geometric shape of the part can be used.
