Building with Thermoplastic Elastomers

 

While traditional building materials such as pipes, plastics, and components generally have a long lifespan, the use of thermoplastic elastomers has extended them even further. Because of their resistance to temperature extremes, lack of corrosive properties, and light weight, TPEs outlast their counterparts, making them more economical in the long run.

 

OTHER USES FOR THERMOPLASTIC ELASTOMERS IN CONSTRUCTION

 

Manufacturers have created a variety of construction tools using TPEs.  Rubber tool grips on hammers, pliers, and drills have all been created using thermoplastic polymers. TPE material is very flexible with great memory, making it a great fit for flexible hoses and ducting used for air, fumes, vacuums, and suction.  They are also used for extruded profiles found in airtight window seals, weather-stripping, and gaskets.
