TPE/TPR material special slip resistance and use
Jul 06, 2021| Today, charging cables have become an essential part for our daily use , as a 10+ years experience manufacturer ,we mostly do OEM serice for customers,and we can produce a variety of cables,like magnetic micro usb、usb type c laptop charger,and Today SChitec will share some knowledge about charging cables with you.
1. EVA/POE belongs to a class of polyolefin elastomer TPO. Although this kind of elastomer has a soft touch, because the molecular monomer unit is a single directly connected olefin polymerization structure, does not contain benzene ring, the material lack of skid resistance, skid resistance and wear strength is poor. For soft plastic products injection applications are limited, generally some craft accessories, small toy products, and toughening modification.
2, PVC soft glue. One of the hydrogen atoms in polyethylene is replaced by chlorine, and polyethylene becomes polyvinyl chloride PVC. Although PVC has good elasticity, but the lack of rubber texture, skid performance is general. In addition, the environmental performance of PVC also affects its application space.
3. Silica gel. The molecular chain structure of silica gel only gives it an excellent amount of resilience, aging resistance and weather resistance, and excellent environmental characteristics. Silicone shell has excellent soft touch, but in the anti-slip performance, silicone is not good at.
4, (vulcanized) rubber. This material has excellent wear resistance and skid resistance, vulcanized rubber system has excellent heat resistance, chemical and physical and mechanical properties, making its application more focused on industry, automobile tire, industrial conveyor belt industry is one of its most important applications.
5, TPU/TPV. These are two common types of thermoplastic elastomers. Both materials have certain rubbery anti-slip properties. But these two materials are poor in soft touch.
6. TPE/TPR material. This refers to the SEBS,SBS polystyrene type of elastomer alloy. This kind of material has styrene rigid molecular structure and flexible butadiene (or butaene-ethylene) molecular chain structure, so that TPE/TPR has a certain strength and excellent flexible touch. The strength, wear resistance and skid resistance of TPE/TPR is not as good as vulcanized rubber, which makes its application field for some daily products, tools and hardware, electronic products. The following are some examples of products using TPE and TPR skid resistance:
(1) Handle handle class. Tools and hardware, bicycle handlebars, luggage handles, knives and kitchenware handles
(2) non-slip pad class. Such as automotive anti-skid pads, car accessories in mat, mobile phone mat, (material surface has strong viscosity), stop slippery cushion | bathroom toilet, water BeiBei pad (compound or single material injection molding), antiskid table mat and so on.
(3) the sole. TPR sole has excellent anti-slip performance, and compared with rubber, the taste is much smaller, wear on the foot feel more soft and comfortable.
(4) various (industrial, stroller) casters. Caster industry, TPE/TPR and TPU are useful. But TPR has softer anti-slip properties and can be used to produce silent casters for the medical industry. TPU casters, friction noise is relatively large.
The special anti-skid characteristics of TPE/TPR provide more possibilities for people's work and life. The adjustable characteristics of hardness and physical properties provide a wide range of imagination and design space for product designers. The environmental protection and non-toxic characteristics of TPE/TPR are worthy of consumer trust. TPE/TPR makes people's life more comfortable and beautiful.
