The TPE compounds specially developed by KRAIBURG TPE for the automotive sector are vital to the industry. Our portfolio is designed specifically to meet the highest requirements for the interior, exterior, and under the hood applications. If needed, our materials can get modified to meet unique specifications. For many years we have been collaborating with OEMs and suppliers on clearances for components and materials.

The TPEs you receive have been specially developed for the consumer sector. Our compounds are the right choice when consumer safety is involved. A safe choice: Throughout the development of our special TPEs for food contact applications, we have taken into account the established market requirements such as Regulation (EU) No 10/2011, FDA – Code of Federal Regulations (CFR), Title 21, EN 71/ 3 and China GB 4806-2016. Our thermoplastic elastomers are frequently used as hard-soft combinations, soft-touch, design or functional elements, but also as impact resistance modifiers.

TPEs are as multifaceted as the industry itself. This is appreciated by many industries such as the electronics, building and sanitary sectors. Functional integration and design are already being successfully implemented in multi-component parts. You can also have every confidence in us when it comes to compliance with flame protection and drinking water regulations. Learn more about the possibilities offered by TPE.
