SOLPLAST TC is a trade name for thermoplastic elastomer compounds (TPE-S), created through a well known compounding of polystyrenes (GPPS, HIPS), EVA and additives with SBS block copolymers.
Resistance to:
- Resistance to acids, bases and all aqueous solutions is EXCELLENT
- Resistance to alcohols and glycols is MEDIUM GOOD
- Resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons, fat and oil is POOR
All “SOLPLAST” grades have a good electric-volume resistance; more than 1012 Ωcm. For colouring, masters are used on a polyolefin base (EVA, PE).
SOLPLAST can be processed through the typical thermoplastic technologies like, such as:
- Injection moulding, (shoe soles)
- Extrusion, (welts)
Usually, pre drying of SOLPLAST materials is not required before processing, apart from some special grades.
Shrinking:
The shrinkage is between 0,4% and 1,4%
General processing parameters:
- Processing temperature: between 150 and 180°C
- Plasticizing speed: high
- Injection speed: low-medium
- Injection pressure medium-low
Our SOLPLAST grades also meet next requirements:
- European Norm SIST EN 71-3:2013 Safety of toys – part 3: Migration of certain elements
- DIRECTIVE 2003/11/EC OF THE EUROPEAN PARLIAMENT AND OF THE COUNCIL of 6 February 2003 amending for the 24th time Council Directive 76/769/EEC relating to restrictions on the marketing and use of certain dangerous substances and preparations (pentabromodiphenyl ether, octabromo-diphenyl ether)
- COMMISSION REGULATION (EC) No 1881/2006 of 19th December 2006 setting maximum levels for certain contaminants in foodstuffs – PAHs (Polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons) statement
- REACH regulations according to last updated list on 15th February 2017
- RoHS 2( 2011/65/EU )

SBS
This is the trade name of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE-S), which are produced by mixing polyolefins (PP, PE, etc.), EVA, and additives with block copolymers such as SBS, SEEPS, or SEBS.
- Excellent resistance to acids, bases, and aqueous solutions.
- Medium to good resistance to alcohols and glycols.
- Poor resistance to aromatic hydrocarbons, fats, and oils.
- Resistance increases slightly within the 7000 series.
- All SOLPLAST products have good electrical resistance exceeding 1012 Ωcm.
- For coloring, polyolefin-based greases (PE, PP) are used.
