Green and bio-plastics

Aug 8, 2008 - Specialist Thermoplastic Elastomer Grades

Thermoplastic elastomers are remarkably versatile, either used on their own or overmoulded to provide tactile or functional features on components moulded from other polymers. Material properties can vary considerably from one grade to the next, with the difference being down to the chemistry and the presence of filler materials or additives.
