Features Of API ESC 40 TPE

  1. Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) formulation offering excellent processability via injection molding and extrusion.

  2. Good low-temperature flexibility with a typical brittle point below −40 °C.

  3. Enhanced resistance to UV exposure and long-term thermal aging compared to conventional SEBS-based TPEs.

  4. Low extractables profile, supporting compliance with FDA 21 CFR §177.2600 for incidental food contact applications.

  5. Smooth surface finish and high gloss retention after processing, ideal for premium consumer-facing components.

Typical Applications Of API ESC 40 TPE

  1. Soft-touch overmolding for power tools, medical device housings, and handheld electronics.

  2. Seals and gaskets in automotive interior trim and HVAC systems.

  3. Flexible grips and ergonomic handles for industrial and consumer appliances.

  4. Non-slip components for personal care devices and fitness equipment.

  5. Replacement material for PVC and TPV in applications requiring recyclability and halogen-free composition.
