KRAIBURG TPE a leading specialist in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE), showcases its latest sustainable TPE recycled compounds at Plastimagen 2023 in Mexico City.

BUFORD, GEORGIA, UNITED STATES, October 16, 2023 /EINPresswire.com/ -- KRAIBURG TPE will be at Plastimagen 2023, where it will showcase new product solutions designed exclusively for the US and Latin American market, including thermoplastic elastomers with recycled content. What's special about them? For the first time, customers will be able to take advantage of different compounds with high levels of recycling derived from post-industrial or post-consumer waste streams. Additionally, these variants span a wide range of Shore A hardness values, offering various bonding capabilities to polypropylene (PP).

From its headquarters in Buford, Georgia (USA), the thermoplastic elastomer manufacturer is thus responding to the growing demand in the United States and Latin America sales region by providing 'ready-to-use' solutions. As part of KRAIBURG TPE's participation in the conference program, they will be conducting a Technical Talk on “Sustainable TPEs for Automotive, Industrial and Consumer Markets”. This talk will be presented by Juan Espinosa, Product and Application Engineering Manager at KRAIBURG TPE Americas.

Alberto Oba, Director of Sales and Marketing at KRAIBURG TPE Americas, comments, 'We welcome and are excited about the opportunity not only to connect with key OEMs and processors, but also to present our sustainable thermoplastic elastomer solutions for all customers and assist them in achieving their business goals, this series represents a substantial stride in our efforts to contribute significantly to the circular economy”.

This year, the global TPE provider will showcase a new line of recycled content products that expands the THERMOLAST^® R compound group and enables the achievement of a high recycling rate. Unlike the already established products, these solutions also surpass 50% in materials with different Shore A hardness. This marks a significant milestone in the development of innovative compounds with adhesive properties. Through this launch, KRAIBURG TPE addresses market needs and the growing demand for eco-friendly materials with post-industrial recycled content (PIR) or post-consumer recycled content (PCR). These compounds align with customers' sustainability vision and assist them in reaching their own goals in this field.

Highlights of the new product lines:

• The RC/UV/AM series is designed for automotive exterior applications with adhesion to PP and features a post-industrial recycled content of 30-50%. These compounds are suitable for UV resistance applications, support carbon footprint reduction, and are available in black. They come in various hardness options ranging from 65 to 90 Shore A.

• The RC/FG/AM series consists of thermoplastic elastomers with recycled content, designed for automotive interior applications with adhesion to PP. They offer post-industrial recycled content of up to 41%, depending on the desired hardness. These compounds meet the requirements of original equipment manufacturers and their suppliers while supporting carbon footprint reduction and fulfilling emissions, fogging, and odor requirements. They are available in different hardness options ranging from 65 to 85 Shore A.

• The Universal PCR TPE is available with post-consumer recycled content of up to 44% and is designed for consumer and industrial market applications. These materials offer multiple usage possibilities for applications requiring adhesion to PP. They come in a wide range of potential hardness options, from 40 to 90 Shore A, and are available in gray, with the option to be colored in various ways.
