Thermoplastic Elastomers

TPE Knowledge Base All conventional gating types are suitable for processing GLS elastomers. For automatically degating tools, the highly elastic nature of softer TPEs makes gate design such as submarine gates or three plate tools with self-degating drops more difficult.

In addition to being lightweight, high stiffness is also a key contributor to the success of long carbon fiber-reinforced thermoplastics. Long fiber reinforced thermoplastics are an excellent option to consider for metal replacement at a fraction of the weight.

Is there a difference between polymer composites, thermoset composites, and thermoplastic composites? Polymer composites can be thermoset or thermoplastic, so thermoset composites and thermoplastic composites are both types of polymer composites. The main difference between a thermoset and thermoplastic is a thermoset cannot be reshaped after it’s formed, cured, and cooled while thermoplastics can be reheated and re-formed.
