Pelletized Thermoplastic (TPR)
It refers to thermoplastic cork (TPR or TPE) granules, such as SBS, that have been processed into small spheres for easy handling and use as raw material in injection molding or extrusion processes. Its main uses include the manufacture of shoe soles.
Characteristics
Resistance
It has excellent resistance to acids, bases, moisture and impact, making it durable.
Advantages
The granules are easy to transport, store, and feed into processing machines, improving efficiency and reducing waste.
Sustainability
Recycled materials are often used, contributing to the circular economy and environmental protection.
Easy Processing
Pelletizing (turning it into granules) simplifies the handling of polymers, allowing them to become an industrial raw material for the manufacture of new products through molding.
Common Uses
It is used in various industrial applications, such as automotive and personal care footwear soles, thanks to its flexibility, durability, and processability.
