SBS Type TPR

Thermoplastic Rubber (TPR) compounds are formulated using Styrene-Butadiene-Styrene (SBS) block co-polymers. Poly Labs TPR 254 formulation offers advanced slip resistance with enhanced durability for footwear applications. For Injection Molded Thermoplastic Rubber 254 (TPR 254), the mechanical properties are as follows:

Density0.9 to 1.0 g/cm³
Hardness, Shore A58 (+/- 5)
Tensile Strength> 550 psi
Elongation> 450 %
Die C Tear Resistance> 140 p/i
Taber Abrasion Resistance< 800 mg (loss per 1,000 cycles)
*TPR 254 has limitless color options

Typical TPR Applications

Polyurethane and Thermoplastics such as TPR are essential to a wide range of consumer goods, industrial products and general purpose molded goods. Thermoplastic Rubber compound is well-known for its resilience, durability and flexibility. Poly Labs injection molded thermoplastic rubber is utilized in the following applications:
