SIS Solvent-Based Pressure-Sensitive Adhesives: Applications, Key Performance Indicators, and Manufacturing Methods

A Thermoplastic elastomer, or TPE is a flexible and rubber-like material that processes like plastic. A TPE is a true thermoplastic, which does not require vulcanization or curing. Thermoplastic elastomers are processed using a variety of plastic manufacturing equipment such as, injection molding, extrusion, and blow molding. A TPE can be utilized in advanced processing such as, overmolding and two-shot molding, and can also undergo secondary operations such as, welding and bonding to various materials. Thermoplastic elastomers offer part design flexibility and easy bonding to other thermoplastic substrates.

There is a close relationship between the molecular weight, molecular structure, styrene content of SEBS, and its weather resistance. This article can serve as a reference for preparing high weather-resistant TPE or for plastic modification using SEBS.
