As a specialized manufacturer, Shanghai Yunshan Plasticizing Co., Ltd. is proud to present our SX-141-40A-T2, a premium-grade Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE-S) formulated to deliver exceptional softness and performance. Located in the industrial hub of Shanghai, we combine advanced polymer technology with rigorous quality control to provide materials that empower your designs. This 40 Shore A grade is engineered for applications demanding a supple, flexible feel without compromising on processability or durability, making it an ideal choice for enhancing user experience in a wide range of products.
This TPE-S material stands out due to its balanced property profile. It offers the elastic, rubber-like qualities of vulcanized rubber while maintaining the easy processing advantages of thermoplastics. The specific SX-141-40A-T2 grade is part of our commitment to delivering consistent, high-performance materials that help our clients reduce cycle times, minimize waste, and create superior end-products.
Core Features & Technical Advantages:
Optimal Softness: With a Shore A hardness of 40, this grade provides a pleasantly soft and flexible touch, perfect for grips, seals, and protective components where comfort is key.
Excellent Processability: Designed for high efficiency in standard thermoplastic equipment. It facilitates faster injection molding cycles and smooth extrusion, leading to increased productivity.
Good Mechanical Properties: Exhibits commendable tensile strength, elongation, and tear resistance for its hardness level, ensuring part longevity in dynamic applications.
Superior Surface Quality: Produces parts with a smooth, matte finish that is aesthetically pleasing and resistant to marking, enhancing the visual and tactile appeal of the final product.
Recyclability & Sustainability: As a thermoplastic, sprues and runners can be reground and reused within specified limits, supporting more sustainable manufacturing practices and reducing material costs.
Good Adhesion to Rigid Plastics: Can be overmolded onto substrates like PP, ABS, or PC, enabling the creation of complex, multi-material parts with soft-touch areas in a single operation.
Key Technical Specifications:
Benefits for Your Business:
Design Freedom: Enables the creation of complex, ergonomic shapes with a soft, comfortable feel that can differentiate your product in the market.
Manufacturing Efficiency: Reduces processing steps compared to traditional rubber, as no vulcanization is needed, cutting energy consumption and cycle time.
Cost-Effectiveness: Lower specific gravity means you get more parts per kilogram of material. Recyclability of scrap further optimizes material usage.
Versatile Application: Suitable for diverse sectors including consumer electronics (phone cases, grips), automotive (interior knobs, seals), household items (tool handles, appliance grips), and medical device components (non-slip surfaces).
Consistent Quality: Our production process ensures batch-to-batch consistency, which is crucial for maintaining the quality and performance of your manufactured parts.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ):
What is the main difference between TPE-S and other TPE types like TPV or TPU?
TPE-S (Styrenic) typically offers a softer feel, lower cost, and easier processing. It is excellent for general-purpose soft-touch applications. TPV is more rubber-like and resistant to oils/chemicals, while TPU offers higher abrasion resistance and mechanical strength.Can SX-141-40A-T2 be used for overmolding? What substrates are compatible?
Yes, it is well-suited for overmolding. It generally exhibits good adhesion to common plastics such as Polypropylene (PP), Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS), and Polycarbonate (PC). Adhesion tests are recommended for new substrate combinations.What are the recommended drying conditions before processing?
It is advisable to dry the pellets at 70-80°C (158-176°F) for 2-3 hours in a dehumidifying dryer. Proper drying prevents surface defects like splay or bubbles in the final part.Is this material suitable for food contact or medical applications?
The standard SX-141-40A-T2 grade is not specifically formulated or certified for food contact or medical use. For such regulated applications, please inquire about our specialized compliant grades.What is the typical injection molding temperature range?
The recommended melt temperature range is typically between 170°C and 200°C (338°F - 392°F). Optimal settings may vary based on part geometry and machine.How does the recyclability of this TPE work in practice?
Clean, uncontaminated regrind from sprues and runners can typically be blended with virgin material at a ratio of up to 20-30% without significantly affecting key properties, subject to validation for your specific application.Can the color of this material be customized?
Absolutely. While supplied in a natural translucent form, our SX-141-40A-T2 can be compounded with a wide range of color masterbatches to meet specific color matching requirements.What is the lead time and packaging for orders?
Standard packaging is 25 kg woven bags. Lead times depend on order quantity, with samples and smaller quantities often available from stock. Specifics can be provided upon request.
