RTP 6001-40A

RTP 6001-40A is a soft-touch speciality thermoplastic elastomer grade. It combines functional performance and properties of thermoset rubbers with processability of thermoplastics. Permits fabrication of “rubber-like” articles with speed, efficiency, and economy of injection molding. Offers flexibility in applications requiring “soft-touch” features, seals against fluid environments, impact protection, and improved ergonomics. Provides flexibility, slip resistance, shock absorption, ergonomic comfort and soft texture. Benefits over thermoset rubbers include lower part costs, thinner wall sections plus lower density, simplified processing (no mixing or vulcanization steps), recyclable scrap and parts and colorability. Applications of RTP 6001-40A include gaskets, seals, stoppers, housings, rollers, valves, bumpers, wheels, pads, casters, strain reliefs, cable jacketing, switch contact points, bellows, fuel line covers, housings, shoe soles/ heels, wrist straps, cushions, airbag doors, keycaps, cosmetic cases, handles, grips, pushbuttons and knobs.
