Terraprene® is a bioplastics family of high-quality TPE compounds based on renewable resources. The Terraprene® TPE grades are equal to their fossil counterparts and are characterized by identical mechanical properties. The current product portfolio comprises various extrusion and injection moulding grades, which can be processed on existing production equipment and tools.
Influence of the proportion of renewable raw materials on the hardness of Terraprene®Products made from Terraprene® are distinguished by a smooth surface and pleasant haptic. Complex multi-functional parts can also be realized using Terraprene ® in 2C-injection moulding process. For the manufacture of products with unique and noticeable design features, fillings with wood fibres or other natural fibres are possible. Woody surfaces with a soft touch can be realized this way, thus the visualization of soft and natural surfaces is provided.
Terraprene® standard grades offer a wide spectrum of shore hardness varying from Shore A 20 to D 40, in addition individual adjustments according to customers’ requirements are always possible.
