Unlike rubber-like elastomers, they do not require curing or vulcanization, as they are true thermoplastics. Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) may be processed by conventional thermoplastic techniques such as injection molding, extrusion and blow molding. Thermoplastic elastomers have replaced rubber in many applications, most importantly the automotive industry. There are six main thermoplastic elastomer groups found commercially; styrenic block copolymers, polyolefin blends (TPOs), elastomeric alloys, thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPUs), thermoplastic copolyesters and thermoplastic polyamides. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Frederick Miller Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 3:33 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: Re: [TN] PVC FREE EXTENSION CORDS TPR is used in some cordage. -----Original Message----- From: TechNet [mailto:[log in to unmask]] On Behalf Of Lars Wallin Sent: Tuesday, November 30, 2010 3:18 PM To: [log in to unmask] Subject: [TN] PVC FREE EXTENSION CORDS Hello Technet, Have anyone any knowledge of PVC free extension cords? If yes, where can it be found. The reason is that here in Sweden some super market chains want to be "Super Green".
