PCR TPE for Consumer and Industrial Applications

The latest TPE developed by Kraiburg TPE is touted as a “multitalented” compound with significant mechanical properties that allows it to be used universally. Moreover, Kraiburg’s Universal PCR TPE is offered with up to 40% PCR content, and can be used for a broad range of consumer and industrial applications.

Universal PCR TPE also boasts strong points in color and mechanical properties. Compounds are available in natural color as a basis for customer-specific color solutions as well as in a gray color characteristic for recycled plastics. Another key feature worth is said to be the compound’s excellent processability, comparable to standard TPEs, setting new standards for PCR compounds. When needed, certificates of conformity with REACH and RoHS can be issued on request.

In accordance with ISO 14021, Kraiburg TPE recycles materials that end consumers from households and industry can no longer use for their intended purpose. With its Universal PCR TPE, the company is supporting customers and end users in implementing their sustainability targets and applications.

Said Kraiburg TPE’s product development scientist Jan Bothe, “The development process focused on Kraiburg TPE’s desire to offer customers a sophisticated alternative to our most-requested compounds. Universal PCR TPE is our multi-tool in the field of compounds, with a proportion of recycled materials ranging between 13% and 40% that come from households or commercial and industrial waste streams. We’ve spent a lot of time on developing a product that can make a real difference. This series enables us to offer customers and prospective clients a useful, high-quality alternative to established products.”
