The use of sustainable TPEs in cutter manufacturing offers numerous benefits, in both performance and environmental impact. Cutters made from TPEs are more flexible and durable.

Sustainable TPEs are making impressive strides! As environmental concerns rise, so does the demand for sustainability solutions—driven by consumer awareness and stricter regulations. KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer, is at the forefront of this shift, developing advanced materials that align with sustainability goals and industry needs.

Why use Sustainable TPEs in Cutter Production
The use of sustainable TPEs in cutter manufacturing offers numerous benefits, in both performance and environmental impact. Cutters made from TPEs are more flexible and durable. Combining the advantages of plastic and rubber - they are suitable for a wide range of applications, including tool handles and grips.

  • Optimized mechanical properties: Our products exhibit exceptional strength, flexibility, and durability that is crucial for diverse industrial applications. This ensures our cutters withstand tough conditions and remain reliable over time.
  • Non-sticky surface: Prevents undesired adhesion to other surfaces for easy handling and processing, and especially for applications where cleanliness and ease of use matter. It provides a practical solution for both manufacturers and users.
  • Colorability: Enables customers to customize material appearance to meet design needs, crucial in industries where branding and aesthetics drive consumer choices.
  • Sustainable material: Our commitment to environmentally friendly practices ensures that our compounds perform well and align with the growing demand for sustainable solutions in manufacturing.
  • Recycled raw material content: Using recycled materials cuts waste, reduces reliance on virgin resources, helps customers meet sustainability goals, which ultimately benefits the environment.
  • Smooth feel & touch: The feel and touch of a product are crucial, as comfort and texture significantly impact user satisfaction. We prioritize these aspects to deliver products that exceed industry standards and customer expectations.
