TPE Material for Building Sealing Strips

Building sealing strips play an important role in waterproofing, windproofing and soundproofing. However, traditional rubber is prone to aging under harsh conditions, which can easily lead to leakage and ventilation, and the replacement frequency is high.

As a high-performance alternative material, TPE material has both the flexibility of rubber and the durability of plastic. Sealing strips made of TPE material have excellent durability, UV resistance, weather resistance and other characteristics.

This article will introduce the five major advantages of TPE materials used in building seals to help you firmly choose TPE materials!

5 Advantages of TPE Material for Building Sealing Strips

1、Stable Performance

The molecular structure of TPE material enables them to have excellent resistance to compression deformation, aging, high and low-temperature performance, UV resistance, ozone resistance and moisture resistance.

Unlike rubber that becomes brittle at low temperatures or softens at high temperatures, TPE materials maintain elasticity and shape stability throughout the year. This toughness is essential for building seals that experience freeze-thaw cycles or areas with strong sunlight, and can effectively prevent cracking, deformation or falling off.

2. Environmental Sustainability

TPE materials do not contain carcinogens such as nitrite, heavy metals, or irritating odors, and are harmless to the human body and the environment. The waste generated during the production process and the final waste products can be recycled, meeting the current high requirements for environmental performance.

3. Easy processing

TPE materials are easy to process and can be directly vulcanized by a rubber injection molding machine, shortening the time from about 20 minutes to less than 1 minute. Since the required vulcanization time is very short, it can be directly vulcanized by an extruder, greatly improving production efficiency.

4. High Cost Performance

TPE materials are durable and can be used for no less than 20 years under normal conditions. They have good tolerance to ultraviolet rays, acid rain, ozone, humid air, and electric arcs. They will not harden, leak oil, or shorten, and can ensure the sealing performance of doors and windows for a long time.

5. Wide Application Fields

TPE materials have the advantages of both rubber and plastic, opening up new application fields for the building sealing industry. As an energy-saving and environmentally friendly sealing material, the development prospects of TPE materials are very bright.

Conclusion

Compared with traditional rubber, TPE materials have excellent performance advantages, cost-effectiveness and processing performance. With the continuous development of the construction industry and the strengthening of policies on energy-saving and environmentally friendly materials, TPE materials will become the preferred material in the field of building sealing.
