Thermoplastic elastomer materials are highly customizable in terms of hardness, sizing, and other characteristics.

TPE is ideal for products that must adhere to incredibly tight dimensional tolerances, such as surgical or medical tubing.

Thermoplastic elastomer materials are quite resilient against a wide range of environmental factors. TPE holds up well against a variety of substances, including chemicals, cleaners, and oils.

TPE is also quite resistant to a wide temperature range and is especially durable at low temperatures. TPE's impact resistance at low temperatures is especially noteworthy.

TPE can handle repeat flexing and twisting, too. This type of resilience makes TPE an especially beneficial choice for surgical and medical tubing, which must be able to perform consistently in the intense, high-speed environment of healthcare.
