Durometer is the international standard for measuring the hardness of rubber, sponge rubber, plastic, and other nonmetallic materials. Many rubbers, soft plastics, urethanes and TPE’s are rated on the “Shore A” scale.

This is achieved by molding a soft skin of thermoplastic elastomer over a hard engineering plastic. The TPE chemistry and the type of engineering plastic play a critical role in influencing wettability. Spiral flow testing of developed products was conducted and is reported in Table 5 along with a conventional TPE and TPV of similar hardness.

Dust-free Plastic Surfaces for Automotive Interiors Plastics provide tremendous benefits to our quality of life, but the challenges of plastic must not be ignored.   Plastics provide tremendous benefits to our quality of life, but the challenges of plastic must not be ignored.  

While commodity plastics can typically maintain performance only up to 100°C, and engineering plastics do the same up to 120°C, a high-performance thermoplastic can withstand continuous use temperatures of 230°C while also maintaining low temperature impact. Most high-heat plastics are hygroscopic, so careful drying is needed to avoid potential processing issues. You have the responsibility to conduct full-scale end-product performance testing to determine suitability in your application, and you assume all risk and liability arising from your use of the information and/or use or handling of any product.
