LAPRENE® TPE-S (TPS) - Superior Performance and Versatility

Celanese TPE-S Laprene® is a thermoplastic elastomer based on SEBS (styrene-ethylene-butylene-styrene), offering several benefits over SBS-based TPE-S (TPS). These include lower compression set, better chemical resistance, higher abrasion resistance, and improved UV and heat resistance.

Laprene® TPS can be processed by injection moulding or extrusion. It is also suitable for 2K moulding with PP (standard grades) and many polar polymers such as ABS, PC, PC/ABS, PMMA, SMMA, ASA, and PETG (special grades).

Laprene® TPS is used in various applications, particularly in the automotive industry, including car mats, air vent sealing, firewall grommets, and doorsill plates.

TPS (TPE-S) Laprene® Offers a Wide Range of Grades:

• Hardness range from 2 Shore A to 40 Shore D

• Low temperature limit down to -50°C

• Maximum continuous temperature up to 100°C - 120°C

• Density range from 0.90 g/cm³ to 1.20 g/cm³

• High transparency grades

• UV stabilised grades

• Heat stabilised grades

• Flame retardant

• Low emissions
