Plastics inherently resist corrosion, eliminating concerns about rust and other forms of oxidation that can compromise metal components. Components requiring high strength, stiffness, impact resistance, or extreme temperature tolerance:  Historically, concerns about plastics centered on their structural integrity and ability to withstand temperature fluctuations without melting, warping, or cracking. In terms of impact resistance, at equivalent levels of reinforcement and using the same matrix material, an LFT formulation is typically about 70 percent higher than that of a short-fiber formulation, and it also has greater stiffness.

There's a lot of information swirling around the internet about thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) and similar materials such as TPU, TPV, and silicone. We've put together this comprehensive guide to all things TPE to help unravel the details about these versatile and popular materials. You may hear people talk about TPVs (thermoplastic vulcanizates) or TPUs (thermoplastic polyurethane) instead of TPEs.
