TPE is a subcategory of Thermoplastic elastomers. Its elastic modulus ranges from 7.5 to 48 MPa. Its flexural modulus ranges from 5 to 175 MPa. Its tensile strength ranges from 1000 to 6800 MPa at break. Its elongation at break ranges from 170 to 900 %. Its specific gravity ranges from 1.1 to 1.28. Its coefficient of thermal expansion ranges from 85 to 190 x 10-6/°C. Its melting temperature ranges from 148 to 230 °C. Its molding pressure ranges from 1 to 15 MPa.
Thermoplastic elastomers, also known as TPE, is a thermoplastic. polyester
