TPE 让运动更加轻松有趣

对于成年人而言，去健身房不仅是一种消遣，更是实现健康、保持身材的重要方式。尤其是在当今的环境下，保持健康的重要性更加显而易见。

此外，借助创新的健身设备和综合训练器材，健身爱好者可以通过更多的运动方式，塑造身体的平衡性、力量和爆发力。

随着技术的不断发展，如今的健身器材已摆脱笨重的设计，变得更加紧凑美观，更节省空间。

为了提高健身器材的人体工程学功能和成本效益，制造商在选材时开始更多地关注 TPE 化合物。

凯柏胶宝®是一家全球知名 TPE 制造商，为各行各业提供类型多样的热塑性弹性体产品和定制解决方案，具有经久耐用、质地柔韧耐磨、耐化学物质等先进特性。因此，这种化合物越来越受到健身器材厂商的青睐，用于制造跑步机、跳绳、负重训练支撑架和固定自行车等。

VS/AD/HM 系列 TPE：塑造健康体魄

凯柏胶宝®的 VS/AD/HM 系列化合物可用于制造健身器材。该系列化合物具有耐化学物、耐磨和耐划痕等卓越特点。由于健身器材通常都放置在高强度运动的环境之中，易出现磕碰，表面经常接触人体汗液，因此是该系列 TPE 的理想应用场景。

这些 TPE 具有一致的着色效果，可以提高健身设备的美观度。

此外，选择 TPE 化合物作为表面材料，可实现天鹅绒般柔软的触感，尤其适合制作设备的手柄和抓握部位。

对尼龙、PA6、PA12 以及其他极性热塑性塑料（如 PC、ABS、ASA 和 SAN）的出色包胶性能，让产品开发更广泛。

VS/AD/HM 系列材料还可用于制作健身器材的其他部件，包括腹肌轮、自行车坐垫套和按钮等。

EC 系列：打造更优美的健身器材

凯柏胶宝®的 EC 系列是一组具有低电阻率的导电化合物，这种特征的材料可以测量其抵抗电流的强度。

这一特性让 EC 系列尤其适合制作负重背心，这是一种刺激肌肉生长、保持身材和提高肌肉力量的重要健身设备。

负重背心在健身领域中的使用日益广泛，尤其是在竞技类健身行业，在进行各种技巧训练、速度和敏捷性训练以及跑步运动中进行负重，提高运动效果。

EC 系列的另一个特点是质地柔软，表面不粘腻，带来极佳的穿着舒适感。

此外，它不含卤素，可确保安全使用。与聚丙烯 (PP) 树脂的良好包胶性，进一步拓展了它的应用范围。

TPEs make work outs easier and fun

Going to the gym is not only a recreational past time for adults but also a path for them to achieve their health and fitness goals. The desire to stay fit and healthy has never been more relevant than now.

In addition, with the latest, innovative gym equipment and cable motion technology, fitness enthusiasts are able to expand their exercise possibilities to build balance, strength and power.

Furthermore, today’s gym equipment has evolved and it is no longer bulky but instead compact, to allow for space savings, and far more aesthetic.

To achieve ergonomics and cost effectiveness in gym equipment, manufacturers are turning to TPE compounds.

KRAIBURG TPE, a global TPE manufacturer of a wide range of thermoplastic elastomer products and custom solutions for multiple industries, offers custom-engineered TPE compounds that are durable, flexible, and allow for wear and tear and chemical resistance. Thus, the compounds are suitable for gym equipment applications such treadmills, skipping ropes, weight training deep stations, upright bikes, etc.

VS/AD/HM series: keeping fit with TPEs

KRAIBURG TPE’s VS/AD/HM series of compounds can be used in gym equipment applications. The compounds are known for their chemical resistance as well as resistance to abrasion and scratches, which makes the compounds ideal for gym equipment applications where the surface is in constant contact with human sweat and strenuous physical activities.

This series of TPE compounds offers a consistent colourability, allowing for the possibility of more attractive equipment.

Also, the TPE compounds render a soft, velvety surface feel to products, making them suitable for handles and grip applications in equipment.

The excellent adhesion property to nylon, PA6 and PA12, as well as other polar thermoplastics like PC, ABS, ASA and SAN, allow for flexibility in product development.

Other possible applications where the VS/AD/HM series can be used include fitness ab wheels, bicycle cushion covers, buttons, etc.

EC series: aesthetic features in gym equipment

KRAIBURG TPE’s EC series of compounds is an electric conductivity series with low resistivity, which is a fundamental property of a material that measures how strongly it resists electric current.

This holds the EC compounds in good stead for potential applications in gym simulation vests, required for stimulating the muscles, for work-outs and bodybuilding. The use of weight vests as a tool for fitness has increased significantly, especially in the tactical fitness industry, with weighted calisthenics, speed and agility, and other weighted running workouts.

Another attribute of the EC series is that it has a soft, non-sticky haptic surface, which provides comfort to the user when wearing the vest.

Furthermore, it is halogen-free, for safety in applications, and has good adhesion to polypropylene (PP) resin, allowing for a wide variety of applications.
