Features Of API 1559-01/PS TPE

  1. Thermoplastic elastomer based on styrenic block copolymer (SBC) with polystyrene end blocks and polyisoprene mid-blocks.

  2. Excellent processability via injection molding, extrusion, and overmolding onto polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE).

  3. Good elasticity and recovery at room temperature with low permanent set (<25% after 24h compression at 23°C).

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

  5. Enhanced grip and soft-touch surface finish suitable for ergonomic consumer product components.

Typical Applications Of API 1559-01/PS TPE

  1. Soft-grip handles for power tools and garden equipment.

  2. Sealing rings and gaskets in automotive fluid systems.

  3. Overmolded grips for medical device housings and surgical instrument handles.

  4. Consumer electronics casings requiring tactile feedback and shock absorption.

  5. Reusable packaging closures and snap-fit lids for personal care containers.
