TPE4069美国杜邦---TPE是原材料行业zui有魅力和应用前景的商品之一。Freedonia集团公司2007年的一项市场调研预测分析，TPE的全世界需要量将以每一年6.3%的速率增长，到2011年，其总需要量将做到36.7亿kg。据RobertEller Associates企业的首席总裁RobertEller可能，车辆将是TPE在全世界zui大的市场的需求，约占总需要量的40%~50%。殊不知，在资本主义国家，这些便于替代热固性塑料硫化橡胶的行业早已慢慢完成了升级换代，并且要求也正慢慢缓解。比较之下，消费市场和工程建筑行业对TPE商品的要求早已初显迹象，并有很大的提高之势，TPE商品销售市场也随着向我国迁移。现阶段，我国很多生产商都逐渐选用TPE来生产制造商品，包含鞋品、家庭装器材、日用品、电气设备用品、五金制具及健身运动/休闲娱乐商品等
TPE is one of the most attractive and promising commodities inraw material industry. According to the forecast analysis of amarket research conducted by Freedonia group in 2007, the worlddemand for TPE will increase by 6.3% every year, and the totaldemand will reach 3.67 billion kg by 2011. Robert, President ofassociates, will probably account for about 50% to 40% of theworld's total vehicle demand. As we all know, in capitalistcountries, these industries which are convenient to replacethermosetting plastics and vulcanized rubber have already beenupgraded, and the re are gradually easing. In contrast,the consumer market and the construction industry have shown signsof demand for TPE goods, and there is a great potential forimprovement. The TPE commodity sales market is also moving toChina. At present, many manufacturers in China gradually choose TPEto produce products, including shoes, household e, dailynecessities, electrical e, hardware and fitness / leisureand entertainment products
TPE的制造加工热塑性弹性体的主要两种方法是挤塑和注塑成型，模塑成型用得极少。通过注塑成型来制造加工热塑性弹性体，既快速又经济。用于一般热塑性塑料的注塑成型方法和设备均适用于热塑性弹性体。
热塑性弹性体还可通过吹塑、热成型以及热焊接进行加工
The two main methods of TPE manufacturing and processingthermoplastic elastomer are extrusion and injection molding, andmolding is rarely used. It is fast and economical to processthermoplastic elastomer by injection molding. The injection moldingmethod and e for general thermoplastic are suitable forthermoplastic elastomer.
Thermoplastic elastomers can also be processed by blow molding,thermoforming and hot welding
