  5. Part I. TPE Introduction • 1. Standard definition of TPE • According to ISO 1382, Thermoplastic Elastomer is a polymer or a mixture of polymers which doesn’t need vulcanisation or reticulation when processed, but demonstrates similar properties as vulcanised rubber at service temperature. These properties disappear at processing temperature to allow the ulterior process possible, but reappear as the material returns to working temperature. Multibase Korea
