TPE 适用于动态潜水设备

作为公认的高级 TPE 化合物的全球领导者，凯柏胶宝® 开发的热塑宝 K 系列可应用于动态潜水设备。

在每个人的愿望清单上，几乎都有潜水和其他水下娱乐运动的身影。水肺潜水不仅能欣赏水下景色，还能提供治疗、康复和健身的好处，同时还能提高人们对水下生态系统的认识和爱护环境的意识。

为了获得最佳的水下体验，所携带的潜水装备必须满足这几点：能够提供足够的保护以抵御极端温度、能够承受水下高压、轻便舒适。

热塑性弹性体 (TPE) 材料可满足动态潜水设备和装置的制造要求，其拥有的特性包括：弹性、耐用性、可满足多样化设计、易于着色、安全、可回收等。

凯柏胶宝® 创新的热塑宝 K 系列 TPE 是潜水设备应用的理想化合物。

专为水下装置而生

我们精选的热塑宝 K 系列 TPE 具有出色的抗紫外线和耐候性，适合各种潜水设备组件。该化合物可用于制造潜水面罩、鳍片、调节器、手套、潜水电脑、通气管、水下灯等，而所有的这些设备都会不断暴露在阳光和海水中。

此外，该材料具有耐皮脂性，非常适合制作牢固且使用方便的把手。且这种材料拥有良好的密封性，可应用于垫片和其它密封件。

该化合物的易加工性

热塑宝 K 系列 TPE 亦可用于制造水下潜水灯，其外壳先由 PP 模塑，再通过 TPE 盖子和密封件二次注塑成形。

使用该 TPE 制作潜水呼吸调节器的盖子，则可以实现密封件的一体成型并可减轻调节器的重量，此时，因调节器的尺寸可以做得更小，可以让潜水员更加轻松自由地呼吸。

对于潜水鳍，使用该种 TPE，可让鳍片富有弹性，触感柔软，这样，潜水员在水中拍打时所需的能量就会变少，从而提高了潜水员的行进速度。该化合物还可为船舶的干舱提供完美的密封性。

多功能性解决方案以实现卓越的整体设计

凯柏胶宝® 的创新型 TPE 化合物提供一致的可着色性，它拥有优异的机械性能，以满足产品设计师和开发人员的定制要求，同时可以让成品具有极佳的专业适配性、舒适度、柔软触感和外观，从而备受终端用户的认可。

在热塑宝 K 系列中，推荐使用的 TPE 包括 GP/FG 和 FC/CS 化合物。

GP/FG 系列提供柔软的表面触感且无粘性，适用于制造潜水鳍、气瓶套等。而 FC/CS 系列具有优良的压缩永久变形，这对潜水设备非常重要，因为水下压力很大，其柔软的表面触感和迟滞特性使该化合物适用于制作潜水面罩、潜水电脑、潜水手套等。

TPEs for dynamic diving equipment

KRAIBURG TPE, a recognized global leader in superior TPE compounds formulates THERMOLAST® K for dynamic diving equipment applications.

Engaging in diving and other recreational underwater sports is on almost everyone’s bucket list. Scuba diving is not only for the enjoyment of underwater vista, it also provides therapeutic, rehabilitative and physical workout benefits, as well as enhancing awareness on the underwater ecosystem and caring for the environment.

For an optimum underwater experience, essential diving gear must provide adequate protection against extreme temperatures; be able to withstand underwater pressure; be lightweight and fit comfortably.

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) materials meet the requirements in the manufacture of dynamic diving equipment and gear. These include flexibility, durability, versatility in design and colorization, safety, recyclability, and more.

KRAIBURG TPE’s innovative THERMOLAST® K TPE is just the perfect compound ideal for diving equipment applications.

Right fit for underwater gear

Our select THERMOLAST® K TPE have excellent UV and weather resistance that suits a diverse range of diving equipment components. The compounds can be used to manufacture diving masks, fins, regulators, gloves, dive computers, snorkels, underwater lights and more, all of which are constantly exposed to sunlight and sea water.

In addition, it is sebum resistant for applications requiring a firm but user-friendly grip; and excellent sealing for gaskets and sealing applications.

Easy processability of compounds

THERMOLAST® K TPE is also suitable for underwater diving lamp applications, whereby the housing is molded from PP and overmolded with the TPE cover and seal.

Diving regulators can have a TPE cover that provides a molded-in seal and weight reduction. Since the regulator is smaller, it allows the diver to breathe easily.

For diving fins, the TPE compounds add a springy touch. The diver requires less energy to flap through water and it improves a diver’s speed. The compounds also provide the perfect sealing in watercraft dry compartments.

Multifunctional solution for superb overall design

KRAIBURG TPE’s innovative TPE compounds provide consistent colorability and excellent mechanical properties to deliver the custom requirements of product designers and developers. Meanwhile, end users can benefit from the specialized fit, feel and look of the products.

Some of the recommended TPEs in the THERMOLAST® K are the GP/FG and the FC/CS compounds.

The GP/FG series has a soft touch surface and non-sticky haptic feel. It is suitable for applications like diving fins, tank bankers, etc. Meanwhile, the FC/CS series has an excellent compression set, which is important for diving equipment, especially since underwater pressure is high. Its soft touch surface and hysteresis makes the compound suitable for applications such as diving masks, diving computers, diving gloves, and more.
