CTS: New lightweight “green” TPEs

At K 2010 CTS will introduce a new Téfabloc TPE product line containing up to 50 % of “green” material. The concerned ingredients are mostly plasticisers and fillers. Téfabloc TPEs with high “green” content can be used for example in vehicle sealing systems.

Focus on “green” Téfabloc TPEs

The mechanical and physical properties of the new material remain comparable to the existing one using virgin raw materials, but thanks to 10 % less specific gravity, the "green" TPE delivers an additional ecological benefit by reducing the weight and therefore the fuel consumption of cars. This positive result is issued from the "Sustainability Research Program" engaged by CTS to evaluate every new raw material that will contribute to increase the sustainability.

The consumer application market is another key target for the "green" Téfabloc compounds. As an example CTS will distribute Téfabloc erasers to visitors at K 2010.
