A Brand Consumers Trust
Thermoplastic Elastomers, or TPEs, are a premier choice of soft, flexible materials due to their robust properties, cost effectiveness, and design optionality. As a global leader in compounding, Teknor Apex offers one of the broadest portfolios of TPE technologies in the industry, including styrenic block copolymer (SBC) compounds, polyolefin blends (TPE-O or TPO), thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPE-Vs or TPVs), polyurethane compounds (TPE-U or TPU), and other specialty blends.
From providing a soft-touch grip on a toothbrush to adding ergonomic functionality to a power tool, Monprene® is a TPE brand that consumers trust. This diverse product line was born of market requirements and encompasses multiple TPE chemistries, including SBC, TPV, TPO, and TPU. Standard grades are available for quick sampling, or Monprene® can be customized to meet a specific aesthetic or functional requirement, which grants designers, OEMs, and processors alike superior flexibility when designing new products.
By taking a more focused approach to address each market's needs, Teknor Apex's TPE product lines are aligned with the industries that they serve. Standard grades often meet the applicable regulations and specifications for that industry. As a result, Teknor Apex’s TPE compounds are likely to be pre-qualified for your application, which can accelerate your speed to market with new products.
