Singapore-based APES Plastics Co., Ltd. (SPC) recently announced that plastics processors are now able to obtain a rubber-like, matt-like appearance by using high-performance thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) Flexalloy(r) composite materials. The advantages of this material over general flexible ethylene and other TPEs.


The new Flexalloy 9750 series of synthetic materials was developed by Teknor Apex, the parent company of SPC, and has the same processing characteristics and physical characteristics as the general-purpose Flexalloy 9100 series materials. At the same time, this type of material can also be used for applications requiring matt surfaces for aesthetic reasons, such as surfaces for certain consumer products and furniture. In addition, bright products tend to “block” or stick to each other, while matt-type Flexalloy synthetic materials have anti-stick properties that make them easy to handle, such as film products such as drum linings, flexible folding tubes on vacuum cleaners, and Door and window seals and other joints.

Compared with common polyolefins and styrenic TPEs, Flexalloy products not only have the same appearance, feel, and elasticity, but also outperform the former in tear resistance and tensile and bending fatigue properties. Equally important, these materials also maintain the traditional advantages of ethylene relative to TPE, including: greater resistance to oils, and more deployment methods.

Due to the better performance of Flexalloy synthetics, it can be used for other applications where flexible PVC cannot be used. Flexalloy products are not only flexible but also very elastic. Compared with soft PVC synthetic materials with the same strength, Flexalloy has better resistance to compression deformation, low temperature bendability, tear strength, and wear resistance. ”

The Shore A hardness range of the new Flexalloy 9750 synthetic material is 35 to 80. The Flexalloy brand TPE's configuration and compounding technology was developed by Teknor Apex, and competitors of other raw material manufacturers do not have similar materials. The basic material for this type of material is the ultra-high molecular weight PVC resin, which is very different from the compound PVC of most vinyl products.
