Markets of Application: Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE)

Multiflex thermoplastic elastomers from DuPont bring comfort, aesthetic and soft touch. Thanks to the wide hardness range, colorability, and ability to be processed with standard equipment, Multiflex can be used in multiple applications and industries.

Automotive

Automotive

In highly demanding automotive applications, DuPont Multiflex thermoplastic elastomer resins can be an excellent replacement for thermoset rubber. They help to reduce costs by streamlining processing and combining design freedom with recyclability.

Multiflex TPE resins provide exceptional performance in a wide range of applications, including cup holders, airbag covers, and HVAC parts, as well as mat bins, exterior weather seals (both static and semi-dynamic), and trims.

Personal Care

Personal Care

Multiple personal care applications use Multiflex TPE which help companies achieve the right aesthetics, color and required soft-touch finish in the final product including toothbrushes, perfume packaging, cosmetic pipettes and many more.

Food Contact

Food Contact

Ideal for producing food contact applications such as wine corks or food containers and more.

Sports & Leisure

Sports & Leisure

Whether your challenge is durability, stiffness, workability, finish or strength, DuPont’s broad range of thermoplastics support design freedom without sacrificing performance. Sport applications in which DuPont’s Multiflex thermoplastic elastomers are used may include bike lamps, diving and snorkel equipment, ski equipment elements, and other applications such as swimming pool instruments, navigation devices and more.

Building & Construction

Building & Construction

DuPont’s solutions in thermoplastic elastomers resins (TPE) can help you design more reliable applications by enabling higher manufacturing yields, increasing productivity and durability, and improving quality. A good example of building and construction applications are window and door seals, which provide extra protection in variable weather conditions.
