Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers are emerging as one of the fastest growing class of synthetic polymers substituting a number of traditional polymeric compounds such as ethylene propylene polymers, ethylene vinyl acetate and Poly Vinyl Chloride (PVC) in numerous applications including automotive, medical, etc. The Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers are widely being used as an alternative to rubber.
Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers offer good impact resistance and can be recycled (unlike rubber). These polymers are also known by alternative names such as alkene based thermoplastic elastomers.
The olefinic thermoplastic elastomers are made of two components mainly, one being an elastomer, which is dispersed in thermoplastic polyolefin such as propylene. The olefinic thermoplastic elastomers possess excellent impact resistance and are lightweight and light density materials, hence used in a number of industries.
Moreover, olefinic thermoplastic elastomers can be moulded into any shape such as cast, wire or film. Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers also provide chemical resistance and electrical insulation. Olefinic thermoplastic elastomers are tough and resilient and at the same time offer flexibility
