在包覆成型或共挤出加工过程中，TPE 很容易与最常用的结构塑料包胶，无需额外使用粘合剂，加工速度更快，成本效益更高。

TPE 增长的主要领域之一是包覆成型。许多产品设计师利用 TPE 来增加刚性材料的“柔软触感”。凯柏胶宝® 是全球领先的 TPE 制造商，针对各行各业提供广泛的 TPE 产品和定制解决方案，包括专为亚太地区医疗保健与医疗设备应用开发的热塑宝 H HC/AP 系列。HC/AP 系列化合物的硬度范围为 30-90 邵氏 A，且因其硬度范围广（柔软到半刚性），适用于各种应用领域。

尤其针对医疗与保健应用领域，凯柏胶宝®的 HC/AP 系列 TPE 化合物可通过包覆成型工艺，制成舒适、防滑、耐磨的手柄、握把和按钮。

热塑宝 H HC/AP 系列通过多组份注塑和挤出工艺加工而成，可很好地与聚丙烯 (PP) 和聚乙烯 (PE) 树脂包胶，满足产品设计中的灵活性要求。

因此，该化合物可通过包覆成型改变表面触感，提高美观性，缓冲振动。

全面的材料解决方案

良好的触觉、柔软的触感和理想的弹性改善了产品功能和设计，使医疗设备制造商在其产品应用方面更具创造性。

凯柏胶宝®的 HC/AP 化合物具有良好的压缩永久变形性能，适用于密封应用。

此化合物可使用121℃的高压灭菌器或用ETO（气体）灭菌，并具有良好的热塑性塑料加工特性和流动性，满足更多医疗部件设计需求。

HC/AP 系列化合物可安全应用于医疗应用领域，符合 ISO 10993-5 细胞毒性、GB/T 16886.5、ISO 10993-5 和 GB/T 16886.5 生物相容性测试等国际和国内标准，以及多项食品接触与医疗国际标准。

其他性能，如良好的耐化学性、理想的密封性和无潜在细胞毒性，以及可着色为各种颜色效果的能力，使凯柏胶宝® HC/AP 化合物成为医疗与保健领域的全面材料解决方案。

Medical & Healthcare TPEs’ Adhesion & Processing Characteristic

The demand for high-performance engineering plastics such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) has expanded due to recent advances in healthcare and medical equipment.
TPE compounds also satisfy the expectations of manufacturers in terms of production and cost efficiency.

TPEs bond easily when processed either through overmolding or co-extrusion with most commonly used structural plastics, eliminating the need for additional adhesives and allowing for faster and more cost-effective processing.

One of the main areas of growth for TPEs is overmolding. Many product designers are utilizing TPEs to add a “soft touch” to a rigid material. KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of a wide range of TPE products and custom solutions for multiple industries, offers the THERMOLAST® H series HC/AP, developed specifically for healthcare and medical device applications in Asia Pacific. The HC/AP series compounds have a hardness range of 30-90 Shore A and can be used in a variety of applications due to their wide range of hardness from soft to semi-rigid.

Especially for medical and healthcare applications, KRAIBURG TPE’s HC/AP series of TPE compounds can be overmolded to produce comfortable, non-slip, and abrasion-resistant handles, grips, and buttons.

Through multi-component injection molding and extrusion, the THERMOLAST® H HC/AP series has good bonding with polypropylene (PP) and polyethylene (PE) resins, allowing for flexibility in product designs.

As such, the compounds can be overmolded to alter the surface feel, improve aesthetics, and cushion against vibrations.

All-round material solutions

Good haptics, soft-touch properties and elasticity improve function and design, allowing medical device manufacturer to be more creative with their product applications.

KRAIBURG TPE’s HC/AP compounds have a good compression set and are thus fitting for sealing and closure applications.

Furthermore, the compounds can be sterilized in an autoclave at 121°C or with ETO (gas); and have good thermoplastics processing and flowability, stretching the possibility for more medical part designs.

The HC/AP series compounds are safe for use in medical applications and meet standards such as cytotoxicity ISO 10993-5, GB/T 16886.5, bio-compatibility testing according to ISO 10993-5 and GB/T 16886.5, as well as a number of international food contact and medical standards.

Other properties such as good chemical resistance, good sealing and no cytotoxic potential, as well as the ability to be colored into various chromatic effects, present KRAIBURG TPE’s HC/AP compounds as all-round material solutions for the medical and healthcare segments.
