Thermoplastic elastomers are adaptable materials, which can be extended without distorting the shape permanently. Thermoplastic elastomers are a physical blend of polymers, which is typically plastic and elastic, and they are manufactured by injection, molding, and extrusion. It is utilized in various applications in the automotive sector, such as airbags, anti-slip mats, window trims, cowl panels, spoilers, and seals & air duct components. Rising demand for automobiles and automotive parts along with increasing consumer spending on automobiles are expected to drive growth of the thermoplastic elastomers market.
Superior properties of thermoplastic elastomers include its glass transition temperature and outstanding material stability when exposed to a broad range of temperatures and non-polar materials. Moreover, less energy is consumed in case of manufacturing TPEs and it can be colored using ordinary dyes.
