Chemigum® elastomers tailor-make TPEs in blends
with general-purpose PVC resins
and low cost plasticizers. They enhance flexibility,
oil resistance, abrasion and slip resistance
and 'rubber-like' appearance. They also help
to retain plasticizers, thus maintaining physical
properties after severe aging.
TPU
material is a growing family in footwear
applications. When used in
blends with TPU, Chemigum® Nitrile elastomer is
a good compromise to lower compound cost, whilst
maintaining performance level (abrasion resistance,
oil and chemical resistance…).
