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.
