Widely used in a variety of industries
Elastomer
Elastomers are a unique class of polymers known for their exceptional elasticity and resilience. They exhibit the remarkable ability to stretch and return to their original shape when applied force to. This characteristic differencieates them from other types of polymers, such as plastics or fibers, which tend to retain their deformed shape.
Elastomers are widely used in a variety of industries due to their remarkable properties. Their elasticity allows them to absorb and distribute mechanical stress, making them ideal for applications requiring flexibility, vibration damping and impact resistance. They are found in numerous everyday products and industrial applications, ranging from automotive components and seals to footwear and medical devices.

Discover the versatility of elastomers: enhancing performance and durability
Elastomers are a remarkable class of viscoelastic polymers that possess a unique ability to revert to their original shape after being exposed to strain within a certain range. Unlike common plastics that may experience permanent deformation, elastomers bounce back, restoring their original state. At Triconor, we offer a range of elastomers across diverse categories, each with its distinct properties such as Polyurethane (PU), Polyester (TPE-E) and Polyolefin (TPO).
Elastomers find diverse applications in various industries. They effectively reduce noise levels in vehicles, provide dampening properties, increase the lifespan of rails, and serve vital industrial purposes such as waterproofing, fluid transportation, and filling applications.
However, prolonged exposure to sunlight, rainwater, air, oily agents, acids, and bases can lead to degradation, jeopardizing the performance and longevity of elastomeric products. To tackle these challenges, it is crucial to incorporate appropriate UV absorbers and Hindered Amine Light Stabilizers (HALS). These additives effectively reduce the impact of long-term sunlight exposure and deterioration, mitigating issues such as yellowing and loss of mechanical properties.

Discover the versatility of elastomers: enhancing performance and aesthetics
Elastomers are a unique class of viscoelastic polymers that possess the remarkable ability to revert to their original shape after experiencing strain within a specific range. Unlike common plastics that can undergo permanent deformation, elastomers exhibit resilience, bouncing back to their initial state. Triconor offers a wide range of additives for these elastomers.
Elastomers, particularly those belonging to the TPU class, find extensive applications in various industries. They are ideal for vamp and sole materials, artificial leathers, hydraulic pressure-resistant and breathable-waterproof functional films, sportswear, apparatuses, balls, and more. The versatility of TPUs allows them to fulfill a multitude of requirements.
However, TPUs are susceptible to yellowing when exposed to incandescent irradiation or in combination with nitrogen oxides present in the atmosphere. To adress this issue and preserve the aesthetic appeal of TPU materials, the addition of appropriate UV anti-yellowing agents is crucial. These agents effectively minimize the problem of yellowing, ensuring the longevity and visual appeal of TPU materials.
Household
Unlock the potential of elastomer: versatile solutions for household goods and beyond
The applications of elastomers are far-reaching, with household goods being just one of many possibilities. Through various processing techniques such as injection molding, extrusion molding, and blow molding, elastomers can be transformed into an array of essential products. Think handles, containers, toys, furniture, decorations, and more. Elastomers also find use in waterproof adhesive strips, flooring solutions, and components for electric appliances, to name a few.
To maximize the lifespan and maintain the aesthetic appeal of elastomeric products, the incorporation of appropriate agents is essential. These agents effectively address common challenges, such as color fading, discoloration, and the accumulation of dirt. By integrating these agents into your elastomeric creations, you can ensure an extended shelf life while preserving the clean and beautiful appearance of your products.
