TPEE has the excellent elasticity of rubber and the machinability of thermoplastic plastics, with adjustable hardness and free design. It is a new variety of thermoplastic elastomers that attracts much attention. Today Xiaobian will take you to understand its characteristics and application areas.

I. Characteristics

1. Excellent creep resistance and fatigue resistance;
2. High impact resistance and excellent elasticity at low temperature;
3. Strong chemical resistance, oil resistance and various solvents outstanding heat resistance (160℃);
4. Good mechanical properties;
5. Good adhesion and forming with ABS,PC,PVC, etc.;
6. Simple processing, good coloring;
7. Good recyclability.

Two, application field
Widely used in automobile industry, electronic and electrical industry, industrial components and sporting goods and other fields. For example, it is used in the production of automobile airbag cover plate, automobile air intake pipe, roller skate wheel, high and low temperature resistance wire sheathing and mute gear, etc. In the automotive industry, this product has been successfully adopted by Hyundai Motor and Kia Motor.

Step 1: Antenna
Its excellent resistance to external environment, ozone resistance, ultraviolet resistance, weather resistance, can reduce signal reception loss, excellent hand feel is a better choice for car antenna and mobile phone antenna;

2. Engine intake pipe
The inlet pipe is usually processed using 3-D or negative pressure blow molding, which is a relatively simple and low-cost mold to create a long hollow pipe molding technology. The convenient and simple installation and processing process makes TPEE widely used in the production of this part. Blow molding can reduce the number of parts and installation process, so that the cost of parts is less than traditional rubber solutions;

3. Drive shaft dust cover
TPEE polyester elastomer has the following advantages compared with neoprene rubber in the application of dust cover: a, reduce the weight by 50%, shorten the forming cycle by 90% b, excellent chemical resistance and fatigue resistance c, low centrifugal expansion rate d, recyclable use e, ozone resistance;

4. Airbag housing
KEYFLETPEE-S series products for automotive airbag housing can meet the following requirements: rigidity required from -35 ° C to 85 ° C, no blowout and no debris when opened, ensuring that the system is fixed in place, housing can withstand front-end impact, 15-year service life, can be sprayed without affecting function;

5. Automobile fuel steam pipe
Excellent chemical resistance and low fuel permeability, 1163D and 1172D can be used in fuel steam pipes;

6. Hydraulic pipe
In this application, TPEE is mainly used to strengthen the pipe layer. Its excellent oil resistance gives it a service life of nearly 6 years. At 60-80℃, it can easily meet the SAE100R7 standard.

7. Inflatable tube
TPEE's excellent pressure resistance, creep performance and helical resilience are also better than PA11 and TPU, so it is suitable for inflatable helical pipe.

8. Air brake tube
The truck is braking through the air brake tube, and the air brake tube made by TPEE conforms to ISO7628 standard;

9. Sealing cover
Chemical resistance and weather resistance, so that it is used to seal automotive structural parts to prevent corrosion, than other elastomers have more performance and longer service life.

Electronic devices and optical cable extrusion products are very suitable for direct contact with copper optical cable products. It shows good heat resistance, elasticity, creep and insulation properties. Used in cable, manipulator, communication line backup and so on.

The above content is a small edition for you to introduce the performance characteristics of TPEE and a wide range of application fields, I hope that through this article to let you have a further understanding and understanding of TPEE.
