Introduction The Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) Compounds market covers Styrenic Block Copolymers (TPS or TPE-S), Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV), etc. The typical players include Kraton Polymers, Dynasol, LG Chem, INEOS Styrolution, etc. Thermoplastic elastomers can be divided into two types: reactor made TPEs (e.g. TPA, TPU, and TPC) and TPE compounds (e.g. TPS or TPV). The properties of reactor made TPEs are implemented in one polymer. The properties of TPE compounds result from mixing two polymers to form a so-called compound. TPE compounds that are compounded using at least two different types of polymers. One polymer type adds elastic properties to the compound, the other one provides thermoplastic properties.
