Riteflex® TPC-ET

Riteflex® thermoplastic polyester elastomers (TPE-ET) are block copolymers that combine the favorable characteristics of vulcanized rubber with the easy processability of thermoplastics for toughness, tear and flex fatigue resistance over a wide temperature range.

Key Benefits

  • Performs over a temperature range of -40°C to +121°C

  • Very flexible with high-impact strength even at low temperatures

  • High mechanical strength

  • Good resilience

  • Highly resistant to chemicals and aging

  • Excellent surface gloss and good paintability

  • Easy and economical to process

  • Excellent wear resistance

  • No softening additives are required: chemical bonding of hard segments with soft segments; flexibility is intrinsic to the block copolymer structure  

  • Applications possible at higher temperatures than TPE
