GEON® Polymax™ TPE Compounds
Cutting-edge thermoplastic elastomer material solutions for a variety of applications
Characterized by their soft feel and cushioning nature, TPE’s work well alone or can be bonded to a wide range of harder substrates to improve functionality and design. Industrial designers appreciate TPE’s incredible range of aesthetic, sensory and performance characteristics that allow considerable design flexibility. Operations personnel value the easier, faster processing of TPE and its lower environmental impact.
GEON® develops thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials for use in injection molding, insert molding, two-shot injection molding, over molding, extrusion, and blow-molding processes
GEON® offers a variety of specialty TPEs to meet the diverse range of performance, processing, soft-touch appeal, weight reduction, and recyclability for automotive applications. Features:
- Weather Resistance
- Chemical Resistance and Durability
- Excellent Sealing Performance
- Tactile Appeal
- Excellent Flexibility at Low and High Temperatures
- High-Temperature Stability
- Recyclable
GEON®’s product line consists of flame-retardant or non-flame retardant compounds for the electrical industries which require dimensional stability, hydrolysis resistance, weather resistance, and high-impact performance. The products meet different classifications of UL94, IEC, RoHS, and other international or local standards. Features:
- Easy Processing and Consistent Colorability
- Long-Term Aging Resistance
- Easy Recycling
- Excellent Flexibility
- Good Chemical, Moisture, and Oil Resistance
Our TPEs are durable, shock and vibration absorbent, fluid resistant, and they seal at high and low temperatures. They provide long service life and are completely recyclable. Because of their ease of processing and lighter weight, GEON® products provide a lower cost solution to many thermoset rubber materials, including neoprene and EPDM. Features:
- Good Chemical and Environmental Resistance
- Good UV Resistance
- Easy Mixing and Processing
- Noise Suppression and Vibration Absorption
- Low and High-Temperature Flexibility
- Recyclable and Environmental Friendly
- Low Compression Set
The TPEs that we create are used in a wide variety of consumer goods and home appliances that demand soft-touch cushion grips and ergonomic functionality in product design. Incorporating Polymax™ adds functionality, value, comfort, and durability to their products. This can be seen from grips in toothbrush handles to power tools and sports equipment. GEON® Polymax™ allows for design flexibility and easy processing in a wide range of products that can be soft, hard, elastic, strong, thick, thin, transparent, or colored. Features:
- Excellent Grip Characteristics
- Good Weatherability
- PVC and Phthalate-Free
- Overmolding Over Various Plastics
- Wide Range of Hardness Values From Gels to 90 Shore A
- FDA Compliant
- 100% Recyclable
Our TPEs are proven to be safe, reliable, and cost-effective in many applications for the healthcare and medical market that is trending away from natural latex and plasticized PVC. TPEs offer many advantages such as low toxicity, sterilization stability, low coefficient of friction, and excellent translucency. Features:
- Non-Allergenic/Non-Toxic
- Bondability to a Variety of Substrates
- Good Chemical Resistance
- High Clarity of Natural Color
- Sterilization Stability
- Medical Approvals and Regulatory Compliance
- Excellent Flexibility and Tear Strength
