Portée du rapport et segmentation du marché

Définition du marché

Les élastomères thermoplastiques (TPE) sont un type de matériau qui combine les propriétés des thermoplastiques et des élastomères. Ils sont flexibles et élastiques comme le caoutchouc, mais peuvent être facilement fondus et moulés en diverses formes lorsqu'ils sont chauffés, comme les thermoplastiques. Les TPE sont utilisés dans une large gamme d'applications où la flexibilité, la résilience et la facilité de traitement sont requises, comme dans les pièces automobiles, les appareils médicaux, l'électronique grand public , etc.
