THERMOPLASTIC elastomers INDUSTRYIN THE GCC REGIONCONTENTSIntroduction 4Global THERMOPLASTIC elastomers industry 5Thermoplastic polyolefin elastomers (TPO) 6GCC THERMOPLASTIC elastomer industry 16Conclusions 21Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) perform like thermoset rubbers but can be processed using standard THERMOPLASTIC processing equipment and techniques. They can be melted, deformed and recycled easily. Due to their improved properties, soft-touch , they are replacing thermoplastics and standard elastomers (where higher performing cross linked properties are not required) despite their higher cost.
