Standard compounds or custom engineered TPE?

When we talk of THERMOLAST K®, we are always referring to the TPEs designed and produced by KRAIBURG TPE on the basis of hydrogenated styrene block copolymers. The registered and protected THERMOLAST K® trademark underlines our company's market position and the unique quality of our thermoplastic elastomers. 

Our speciality and skill lie in providing you with the optimum THERMOLAST K® compound suitable for your product. We then need to check whether one of our Standard compounds from our THERMOLAST K® series meets your requirements or whether you require a  „Custom engineered TPE“. Because our extremely intensive development work on new customer and product-specific compounds results in a multitude of first-class standard TPEs: Immediately available and tested in many industry-specific applications.




Each standard compound has a "first" and a "last name". The "last name" indicates certain characteristics which are typical to that specific standard series.
THERMOLAST K® IC series for example covers grades with an excellent compression set, whereas the compounds of THERMOLAST K® DC series are easy to decorate or label ...

The family members of a standard series differ mainly in hardness or colour and need therefore their own "first name" = the specific compound number of the  series compounds: e.g. TC6GPN.
