TPR materials are widely used in daily necessities, adult products, hardware tools, luggage wheels, sports equipment, toy products, auto parts, medical supplies, wires and cables, electronic appliances, communication instruments, footwear products and so on. Among them, the shoe material and toy industry are mainly the application fields of TPR based on SBS, and the modified materials based on SEBS are mainly used for products with aging resistance, weather resistance, high requirements on physical properties and tensile strength, and ultra-low material hardness (Shore hardness below 5 degrees).
TPR is what most users call thermoplastic elastomer, which mainly refers to materials modified by styrene elastomer SBS and SEBS. TPR material suppliers call SBS matrix modified elastomer material TPR and SEBS modified material TPE. In fact, TPE is a broad concept, which includes not only styrene elastomer SEBS and SBS modified materials, but also TPU, TPV, TPEE, TPO and other elastomer materials.
