CONSULTANT S CORNERC omparing Thermoplastic Elastomers andThermoset RubberEach class of material is well suited for its range of applications, but thereare key differencesBy Jeffrey JansenThe Madison Group, Madison, Wisconsin, USAT hermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) are an important classof materials and are used in a wide variety of applica-tions. In general, TPEs encompass multiple differenttypes of polymeric material structures, and are noted forbeing soft and flexible like thermoset rubber, while beingmelt-processable and -reprocessable like have been defined by the International Institute ofSynthetic Rubber Producers as: Polymers, polymer blends or compounds which,above their melt temperatures, exhibit thermoplasticcharacter that enables them to be shaped into fab-ricated articles and which, within their designtemperature range, possess elastomeric behaviorwithout cross-linking during fabrication. This processis reversible and the product can be reprocessedand remolded.
