Elastomer Gel

Our thermoplastic elastomer resins can be combined with compatible mineral oils to produce a homogeneous gel whose softness depends on the amount of mineral oil used. By increasing the amount of mineral oil, the softness of the gel can be increased but the tensile strength of the gel will also decrease.

Human tissue simulation - Elastomer oil gels closely approximate the feel of the human flesh. Our product can be used as a low cost replacement for ballistic gels. The hardness can be easily controlled by increasing or decreasing the amount of mineral oil in the mix.

Shock and Vibration absorption - When mixed with mineral oil, our thermoplastic elastomer products can be manufactured into custom built vibration absorption pads. They can be used as shock mountings or as a resting pad for the hands, buttocks and knees.


Sports Applications

GP77 TPE can be used in the soles of the shoes as cushioning pads or as friction pads. They can be used as rubber hand grips for motorcycles and bikes.

Food Containers

The GP78 TPE can be formed as food containers or as launch boxes because it has an approval from the US Food and Drug Administration.
