TPE Knowledge Base
Due to this unique viscosity/shear rate dependency, normal melt index testing (done at shear rates as low as 50 1/sec) will not reflect how the TPE will process at higher shear rates.
Shear rates during extrusion processing are usually in the hundreds of reciprocal seconds and shear rates during injection molding may go as high as 11,000 1/sec.

Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically
Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers
Stat-Tech™ TPEs are electrically conductive
thermoplastic elastomers engineered to protect
critical electronics from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), and electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference (EMI/RFI).
Stat-Tech TPEs can be both injection molded and
extruded, giving great design freedom for more
complex geometries.
These include:
• Industrial – Conveyor belts (food production
and pharmaceutical industries) and controls
(joy sticks, machinery handles and knobs,
corrugated bellows, tool grips)
• Electrical and electronic devices – Seals and
gaskets, radars and sensors
• ADAS components – Camera systems,
navigation systems, vehicle control systems,
infotainment systems
