Solve Tactile, Processing, and Compliance Challenges with Custom TPE Compounds

Americhem’s thermoplastic elastomers blend softness, strength, and clean processing. Each compound is tuned to your specific tooling, compliance, and material needs.

Americhem custom formulates thermoplastic elastomers across a range of SBC, TPV, and TPO chemistries. We fine-tune each compound to your required hardness while dialing in flow, color compatibility, and regulatory readiness.

Applications include:

Soft-touch grips and wearable parts
Flexible seals, tubing, closures, and hygiene-contact components
Overmolded housings and dual-durometer designs

Built for injection and extrusion, and compatible with blow molding, compression, and overmolding. Offered in recyclable and bio-based formats to meet material circularity or regulatory demands. Validated in our in-house labs. Proven across industries.

Where Softness Meets Strength and Processing Control

Whether your spec calls for ergonomic comfort, compliance, or high-output processing, Americhem’s TPEs are custom-compounded and lab-validated for real-world use.

Americhem’s thermoplastic elastomers deliver comfort, sealing integrity, and consistent performance. Each TPE is tailored to your part design, equipment, and end-use requirements—then verified in our in-house labs.

Get Answers About TPE Materials, Properties, and Processing

From compliance questions to processing fit, here are the most common questions teams ask when specifying Americhem’s thermoplastic elastomers.

Still have questions?

Talk to a Solutions Engineer

What is TPE and how is it different from rubber?

TPEs are thermoplastic elastomers that combine rubber-like softness with melt-processability. Unlike thermoset rubber, TPEs aren’t cross-linked, so they can be reprocessed, recycled, and remolded.

Can Americhem customize hardness, grip, or color?

Yes. We formulate TPEs across the full Shore A to Shore D range, with dialed-in color dispersion, tactile feel, and additive effects like antimicrobial or lubrication.

What processing methods are supported?

Our TPEs are designed for injection molding and extrusion, and are compatible with blow molding, compression, and overmolding—including co-extrusion and insert molding.

Do your materials meet global regulatory standards?

Absolutely. Americhem offers TPEs that meet FDA, REACH, RoHS, NSF/ANSI 51, and toy safety standards—with documentation to streamline your compliance process.
