API 1554/PS TPE

API1554/PS TPE is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer from the API Series by PolyOne (now Avient), engineered for soft-touch overmolding and automotive interior applications. It offers excellent oil resistance, low-temperature flexibility, and seamless adhesion to PP/ABS substrates—ideal for durable, recyclable, and RoHS-compliant components requiring consistent Shore A hardness and process efficiency.

Features Of API 1554/PS TPE

  1. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) based on styrenic block copolymer (SBC) architecture for excellent melt processability.

  2. Non-toxic, halogen-free formulation compliant with FDA 21 CFR §177.2600 for food-contact applications.

  3. Outstanding soft-touch feel and high elasticity with reversible deformation behavior.

  4. Good resistance to UV exposure and low-temperature flexibility down to −40 °C.

  5. Easy colorability and compatibility with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) for co-injection or overmolding.

Typical Applications Of API 1554/PS TPE

  1. Soft-grip overmolding for power tools, hand-held appliances, and medical device housings.

  2. Sealing components in automotive interior trim, including door panels and climate control knobs.

  3. Consumer electronics accessories such as earbud tips, wearable band materials, and cable jacketing.

  4. Food-grade squeeze bottles, dispensing caps, and reusable kitchenware components.

  5. Industrial grips and ergonomic handles for safety equipment and manual handling tools.
