Industrial and Transportation

GLS TPEs are processed like thermoplastics but perform like rubber.

Because of their ease of processing and lighter weight, TPEs are more cost-effective than many thermoset rubber materials, including neoprene and EPDM. As a result, the penetration of TPEs into Industrial and Transportation applications continues to grow as manufacturers take advantage of the many benefits of TPEs.

GLS TPEs are processed like thermoplastics (whether injection molded, extruded, or blow-molded) but perform like rubber. Design engineers and manufacturers continue to develop new uses for these unique materials - to add color, improve feel, or enhance performance while enjoying reduced finished part cost. And, like all TPEs, GLS materials are completely recyclable.
