Product Description
Thermoplastic Elastomers
Ebbtide Polymers
Corporation offers an in depth line of specialty elastomers for the widest range
of applications. From Thermoplastic Polyurethane to Thermoplastic Vulcanizates,
Ebbtide has the ideal elastomeric solution just for you. Most of the
elastomeric materials described below can be extruded, blow molded and injection
molded. We are ready to assist you with component design and tooling design.
Overmolding, multi-shot molding and co-extrusion are areas in which Ebbtide
Polymers is well positioned to serve you.
Meralast® TPV and
Trexprene® TPV
Meralast® and Trexprene®
Thermoplastic Vulcanizates from Ebbtide Polymers provide excellent performance,
balanced economics and application development services. TPVs provide most of
the performance properties of thermoset rubber, but have the processing ease of
thermoplastics that allows for more design options and greater cost-reduction
opportunities in a multitude of markets. TPVs provide excellent chemical
resistance, compression set, colorability, aesthetics, soft touch "feel" and
design flexibility. Ebbtide Polymers has developed Meralast® grades that far
outstrip their competition in the areas of inherent UV stability/weatherability,
excellent processability, consistent natural color for ease of coloring with
color concentrates, flame retarded TPV, lubricated TPV and custom precolored
TPVs. Our families of TPVs can be used in both automotive (Trexprene®) and
non-automotive (Meralast®) applications. Look to us for help with overmolded
grips, handles, soft touch features, bumpers, seals, gaskets, grommets, bellows,
knobs, foot pads, pedals, cases, housings, sporting equipment and many, many
more types of applications. If you are looking for a rubber replacement or to
change from your current elastomer, Meralast® is the answer. Look to the Ebbtide
Team for your next elastomer application.
Thermoplastic Polyurethane
Thermoplastic Polyurethanes are
high performance elastomeric materials that you may require for your toughest
applications. TPU's exhibit a unique balance of properties within the
elastomeric material family; excellent abrasion resistance, cut and tear
resistance, chemical resistance, hydrolytic stability, high tensile strength,
high elasticity and resilience (even at low temperature) and low compression
set. In addition to a full range of TPU products, Ebbtide provides a full
complement of additives including color concentrates, lubricants and
stabilization packages for heat and UV. Ebbtide holds the key to success in
your next TPU project.
Ebbtide's Elastomers
Ebbtide Polymers also
provides thermoplastic elastomers based on SEBS/SBS and COPE. SEBS/SBS is
commonly used in applications requiring translucency or clarity, super soft
elastomers (below 5 shore A), custom "feel" and other custom elastomeric
characteristics. Copolyester Elastomers are used in some of the most abusive
environments. This imported COPE is stocked in the central US and is designed
for a myriad of high performance extrusion, blow molding and injection molding
applications
Overmolding Materials
Ebbtide's TPEs will bond to
the following resins*:
Olefins - all polypropylene
(modified or neat) and many polyethylene grades
Styrenics
ABS (Cycolac®, Lustran®, Lucky®, Terluran®, etc.)
PC/ABS (Cycoloy®, Bayblend®, etc.)
Polycarbonate (Lexan®, Makrolon®, Calibre®, Iupilon®,
etc.)
Polyester (Valox®, Celanex®, Lutrel®, Eastar®, etc.)
Nylon (Zytel®, Capron®, Nypel®, etc.)
CAB (Tenite®, etc.)
