TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) is an ideal material for tool handle applications, combining the flexibility of rubber with the easy processing of plastic. Its soft-touch feel enhances user comfort, while its high elasticity absorbs shock and reduces strain during prolonged tool use.
TPE offers excellent slip resistance, making it especially valuable in professional or industrial environments where tools may be used with wet, oily, or gloved hands. The material maintains its performance across a wide range of temperatures and environmental conditions, making it suitable for both indoor and outdoor tools.
Furthermore, TPE is non-toxic, recyclable, and compliant with environmental regulations such as RoHS, making it a sustainable choice for modern tool manufacturing. Its adaptability allows for various molding techniques, including dual-shot and overmolding processes, enabling seamless integration with plastic or metal tool bodies.
