Introducing Dryflex Green, a range of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) compounds made from renewable sources like plants and vegetable crops.
These biobased TPEs are designed to provide high performance while enabling the switch from fossil feedstocks.
We have developed several compounds with amounts of renewable content to over 90% (ASTM D 6866-12) and hardness from 15 Shore A to 60 Shore D.
Key Benefits:
Dryflex Green TPE compounds display mechanical and physical properties comparable to TPE from fossil-based raw materials
• Percentage and type of renewable content (to over 90% ASTM D 6866-12)
• Hardness (15 Shore A to 60 Shore D)
• Durable and long-lasting
• Drop-in solution
• No pre-drying
• Adhesion to polymers, such as PE, PP, ABS, PC/ABS, PET etc
• Easy to Colour
• Filled or unfilled grades
• Good mechanical behaviour such as flexibility and tensile properties
• Surface finish and haptics
• UV and heat stability
• Recyclable in closed-loop systems
Dryflex Green TPEs can be used in many applications currently using conventional TPEs, such as soft-touch grips and handles, sealing and closures, automotive, consumer goods, sports equipment, toys and infant care.
