Plastomers Material Properties and Applications
Plastomers are polymer materials that fill a gap between elastomers and plastics. They are hygroscopic, opaque elastomeric materials that have the aesthetics and soft-touch properties of rubber but the performance and processing ease of plastic. Plastomers include subcategories for custom applications (TPO, TPV, TPU and TPE), allowing the desired “feel and touch” attributes without the shiny plastic look. Plastomers are easy to use and work well in injection molding, compression and extrusion processes.
