thermoplastic elastomers

Thermoplastic elastomers are fascinating materials with the unique property of being able to deform plastically again and again. Essentially, they are macromolecules that are linked to one another by only a few cross-linking bridges. This means that they soften and become deformable when heated, and can regain their original shape when cooled.

This ability makes them extremely versatile and adaptable for various applications in areas such as the automotive industry, medical technology and the packaging sector. Thanks to their unique mechanical properties, thermoplastic elastomers offer an attractive alternative to conventional elastomers and thermoplastics, as they combine the advantages of both types of material.
