At Shamrock, we are a premier provider of recycled additives for thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for various industrial applications. These innovative materials are increasingly recognized for their significant environmental benefits. By incorporating recycled TPEs into manufacturing processes, industries can achieve a balance between performance and economic efficiency.

Reduced Waste

One of the primary environmental benefits of recycled additives in TPEs is their ability to give new life to materials that would have otherwise ended up in landfill, significantly reducing material waste. Our micronized PTFE is made by repurposing leftover die cut pieces. By utilizing these materials, we can conserve resources and minimize the environmental footprint associated with the production of new materials.

Versatility and Longevity

The addition of micronized PTFE in TPEs combine the properties of rubber and plastics, providing flexibility, durability, and wear resistance to harsh environmental conditions. This versatility means that TPE products often have longer service lives, reducing the need for frequent replacements. Products made from TPEs, such as medical devices, automotive parts, and consumer goods, benefit from these properties, which help reduce the overall environmental impact through extended product life cycles.

Micronized PTFE additives can help enhance thermoplastic elastomers by offering a multitude of benefits, from enhancing product longevity and safety to reducing waste and energy consumption. With the increasing adoption of environmentally friendly practices, the adoption of PTFE in TPEs play a crucial role in achieving these requirements.
