TPE | Thermoplastic Elastomers

• Semi Rigid TPE is great for co-extruding with flexible TPE’s where more stiffness and less friction is required to better secure the profile, this also increases the ease of installation.

HDPE |  High Density Polyethylene

• A semi-rigid compound that is more rigid than LDPE. 
• Has high impact strength, good chemical resistance, and light weight.
• PE can become brittle from oxidation and exposure to UV light.
