Features Of API 1556/PS TPE

  1. Thermoplastic elastomer based on styrenic block copolymer (SBC) blended with polyolefin for balanced processability and elasticity.

  2. Excellent melt flow stability for consistent extrusion, injection molding, and overmolding operations.

  3. Good resistance to UV exposure and thermal aging without requiring additional stabilizer packages.

  4. Low compression set (<25% at 70°C, 22h) enabling reliable sealing performance in dynamic applications.

  5. Halogen-free formulation compliant with RoHS and REACH directives for regulated markets.

Typical Applications Of API 1556/PS TPE

  1. Soft-touch grips for power tools and hand-held industrial equipment.

  2. Sealing rings and gaskets in fluid handling systems for HVAC and pneumatic components.

  3. Overmolded protective caps and end caps for automotive sensor housings.

  4. Flexible bellows and dust boots in precision motion control assemblies.

  5. Consumer electronics enclosures requiring tactile feedback and impact absorption.
