28 Oct Thermoplastic rubbers solutions in elastic rubbers

The polymer mixture gives rise to materials called thermoplastic elastomers, , also known as thermoplastic rubbers, flexible PVC or rubber. These materials are used in the inyeccion de plasticos to make pieces of rubber in which the elastic properties of this stress resistant material are important.

Types of plastics or thermoplastic rubbers

The plastics or thermoplastic rubbers can have various additives that give different properties to the material. For example we find PVC with solar protection, flame retardant rubbers or anti-chemical plastics, foaming agents, etcetera.

The rubber, the rubber or the flexible PVC is in two degrees of hardness Shore A and Shore, according to the utility. According to their plastic manufacturing characteristics, they are used in various areas, such as thermal insulating coatings, safety guards, glues, rubber soles, bellows, suspension bearings, snowmobile guides and other rubber for multiple uses.

Recyclable rubber and rubbers

ASome thermoplastic elastomers have the advantage of being able to be recycled, because in many cases they can be re-molded, extruded and reused in the compression molding process. This makes it possible to reuse the material in rubber and plastic parts, thus opening up a broad perspective in the recycling of plastic for obtaining industrial inputs.
