Using cutting-edge materials such as thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) from the bristles to the handle ensures that the design and functionality required for interdental brushes are met. The THERMOLAST® R-RC/FC/PCR/AP series from KRAIBURG TPE offers a wide hardness range of 30-90 Shore A, efficient processing via multi-component injection molding, and good adhesion with PP, among other benefits.

THERMOLAST® R-RC/FC/PCR/AP series allows for the customization of a wide range of surfaces, from soft-touch and smooth or silky feel to high surface friction, depending on the design requirement. The series' exceptional anti-slip feature makes it ideal for applications requiring an ergonomic grip and easy maneuvering.
