- Thermoplastic FilmThermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) combine the properties of a thermoplastic with those of a synthetic rubber. Available as a film or in sheets, key attributes include a soft and flexible feel, elasticity, a latex and PVC-free composition and easy adhesion to a wide range of plastics.
- Thermoplastic ElastomersThermoplastic Elastomers, or TPEs, is an exceptional basic starting material, combining the properties of a thermoplastic with those of rubber.
- Thermoplastic FilmFor Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE’s), the so-called styrene block copolymers are used. This is an exceptional basic starting material because a molecule of block copolymers combines the properties of a thermoplastic with those of rubber.

- NCell Natural Fibre reinforced ThermoplasticsNCell consists of a polypropylene (PP) or polyethylene (PE) matrix reinforced with up to 40% natural cellulosic microfibres. NCell compounds have mechanical properties that are able to replace glass-reinforced thermoplastics. NCell also offers increased performance from other commercially available biocomposites, such as those made from hemp, flax, wheat straw, and wood.
- Forj Thermoplastic Tape-RibbonForj is a high strength, lightweight thermoplastic tape-ribbon that molecularly fuses to itself in a matter of seconds. Simply heat, press and repeat to repair tools, create custom grips, fix broken sports equipment and more. Once cooled, the self-bonding plastic hardens, creating a bond as strong as steel.

- WALiD: new material for lighter wind turbine bladesThe bigger the blades on a wind turbine, the more energy it generates. However, current blades of wind turbines are made of heavy material,…
- Glossop & Girmo fabricThe Glossop CP consists of 100% TPU membrane, with one shining side and one matte side. Girmo CP is also made of 100% TPU membrane, both sides are matte. TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) is a component of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer). TPU has a long list of excellent material properties.
- LiquidwoodLiquidwood is biopolymer, consisting of the same ingredients as natural wood, lignin and cellulose. It also has similar properties. The material combines the properties of renewable resources and natural wood with the processing capabilities of common thermoplastics.
- Recycled PlasticAkwamat allows for natural ventilation of your mattresses and cushions, and prevents moist and mould. Enkev’s Akwamat can be used for boats, caravans, holiday homes and any other place where ventilation doesn’t occur naturally.
- TPE elastics, tube and cordThermoplastic Elastomers, or TPEs, are combining the properties of a thermoplastic with those of rubber. Use for medical applications or for food contact, Material can resist UV and Ozone, extreme heat, cold or chemicals. Wide range of colour options, including fluorescent, metallic and pearl effect, glow in the dark.
- EconCore HoneycombEconCore Honeycomb ThermHex are hexagonal honecomb cores from a range of thermoplastic polymers.
- PolymorphFeaturing a low fusing temperature of around 60˚C, Polymorph transforms into a material that can be moulded into almost any shape when submerged in hot water. Upon cooling, it becomes a tough, nylon-like polymer. As it is a thermoplastic, Polymorph can be re-heated and thermoformed numerous times.
