KRAIBURG TPE will debut two new innovations at CHINAPLAS 2023, namely the THERMOLAST R recycled series and the FG/SF/AP series.

The newly introduced THERMOLAST R recycled TPE series includes the RC/PCR/AP and RC/FC/PCR/AP grades. The THERMOLAST R RC/PCR/AP grades contain 25-48% post-consumer recycled content (hardness-dependent) and comply with RoHS and UL 94 HB standards.

The THERMOLAST R RC/FC/PCR/AP grades for the consumer market contain 9-38% post-consumer recycled content (hardness-dependent). They comply with the FDA CFR21 food contact regulation as well as REACH and RoHS SVHC substance requirements (Substances of Very High Concern).

These grades are suitable for a wide application range requiring adhesion to PP in multi-component or single component parts.

The newly introduced THERMOLAST R recycled TPE series is suitable for both consumer and industrial markets.

On the other hand, the FG/SF/AP series is developed for automotive interior applications. The series has good adhesion to PP and flowability, with low density and controlled level of emissions and odor.

The FG/SF/AP series, targeted at the Asia Pacific market, is developed for automotive interior applications.

The THERMOLAST H series will be on show as well. These TPEs are free of heavy metals, latex, PVC, phthalates, and other potentially harmful substances. They can be sterilized by EtO and autoclave at 121°C. They also comply with Cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5, GB/T 16886.5, as well as various global food contact and relevant medical standards.

KRAIBURG TPE is also a key participator of the Tech Talk forums in which the company will share more on its solutions for sustainable development, automotive interior surface, and medical applications.
