PRO-FORM Thermoplastic Elastomer Sheet (TPE)
PRO-FORM thermoplastic elastomers combines the processing properties of thermoplastics with the properties of vulcanised rubber. The result is a unique material which is extremely tough, flexible and grippy, making it the perfect solution for car boot mats and many other non-slip applications.
This material also sees its qualities lend to other industries such as agricultural, medical, construction and logistics. PRO-FORM has a high output of TPE plastic sheet as it is manufactured for our cargo-liner boot mats and our SportGuard non-skid bedliner for utes.
TPE also lends itself as a great capping option to provide a non-slip surface on the top or bottom layer of co-extruded sheet.
