Polymax launches TPEs for extreme conditions

Polymax Thermoplastic Elastomers, a leading manufacturer and custom compounder of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials, has launched an expanded line of premium quality TPE for use in extreme conditions.

Developed using new product formulations and custom-engineered production machinery, the company’s extreme conditions application materials are designed to perform under very high and very low temperatures, during medical sterilisation procedures and demanding environmental conditions. Some of the new TPEs are formulated to endure exposure to ultra-violet light, abrasion, caustic substances and flammability conditions.

"As a leader in thermoplastic elastomer material formulation and compounding, we continue to focus on the needs of our customers by expanding the range of technical performance of our products,” said PolymaxTPE President Dr Martin Lu. "PolymaxTPE materials that can endure rigorous conditions are particularly important in the automotive, healthcare and industrial market segments."

PolymaxTPE has a full-service facility in Waukegan, Illinois, which produces the company’s range of more than 500 grades of TPE, develops next-generation TPE innovations and provides custom-developed materials and technical service. All PolymaxTPE materials are produced with state-of-the-art production and testing equipment from leading American and German manufacturers to ensure premium quality, consistency and performance at optimum production speed and cost.
