The company will introduce food-contact TPE grades that comply with relevant regulations and exhibit low migration behavior. Typical applications include kitchen tools, packaging components, and reusable containers. These fully colorable, robust compounds offer ergonomic design, enhancing comfort and safety.
In addition to food-contact TPEs, selected grades possess soft surface properties and outstanding resistance to substances like isododecane, sebum, and skin oils, making them ideal for cosmetic packaging, such as lip gloss and mascara.
KRAIBURG TPE's compounds also deliver mechanical strength, thermal stability, and abrasion resistance, suitable for demanding applications like tool handles, machine components, functional surfaces, and consumer electronics.
Specialized grades, including anti-static and flame-retardant TPEs, are designed to protect both devices and operators in industrial and electronics applications. Their compatibility with overmolding and multi-material designs supports complex products, ensuring safe and comfortable handling during intensive use.
The Healthcare TPE series has been specifically developed for applications requiring consistent quality, flexibility, and biocompatibility. These compounds comply with Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5 standards, ensuring safety and reliability along with ease of cleaning and excellent processing behavior. Typical uses include grips, seals, housings, and patient-contact components in medical devices and diagnostic equipment.
The Healthcare TPE series guarantees safety and performance, making it suitable for use in medical devices.
KRAIBURG TPE's innovations also advance sustainability. The GRS and ISCC PLUS-certified recycled-content TPEs offer a soft-touch feel, durability, and performance while contributing to a circular economy in automotive, consumer, and industrial sectors.
At the booth, KRAIBURG TPE will feature a Sustainable TPE Solution portfolio that includes bio-based materials and compounds with post-consumer (PCR) and post-industrial (PIR) recycled content, with selected grades holding GRS and ISCC PLUS certification. Product Carbon Footprint data is also available for material evaluation.
