KRAIBURG TPE THERMOLAST R is ideal for smartwatch straps.

 

Comfort wear and long durability

 

THERMOLAST R compounds offer a smooth, non-sticky TPE surface and a premium tactile feel for smartwatch straps, taking user comfort up a notch.

 

The smartwatch strap material’s optimized mechanical properties ensure durability against repeated bending, stretching, and daily handling, making the material ideal for long-term use in wearable devices.

 

With excellent wear-resistance, the compounds keep smartwatch straps in top shape even with frequent use.

 

Design versatility

 

THERMOLAST R soft-touch TPE compounds are available in black and natural colors, with pre-coloration options that offer versatility for brand-specific aesthetics and product differentiation.

 

Widely used as TPE in consumer electronics and wearable devices such as earphones, remote controls, gaming consoles, and other soft-touch components, they allow designers to create functional and visually appealing products across various applications.

 

Seamless integration with rigid components

 

THERMOLAST R exhibits excellent adhesion to engineering plastics such as PC, ABS, and PC/ABS in multi-component injection molding, allowing soft strap elements to bond seamlessly with rigid smartwatch housings.

 

Using this injection molding TPE enhances product reliability and streamlines manufacturing, ensuring consistent quality in high-volume production.

 

Sustainability at the fore

 

The THERMOLAST R series incorporates a hardness-dependent post-industrial recycled content ranging from 34% to 50%, allowing manufacturers to lower their environmental footprint without compromising product quality.

 

The GRS-certified compound and recycled TPE material balances sustainability and reliable performance for high-volume electronics production.
