Bio-based Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs)
PHOENIX 19 Series TPEs are partly derived from natural feedstocks, using fewer fossil materials. Properties and processability of PHOENIX 19 Series TPEs are equivalent to our conventional TPEs. They are bio-based but not biodegradable. Also, they have good adhesion to PP and can be recycled.
