Innovation for Seamless Universal Adapter Connectivity


KRAIBURG TPE is proud to announce its latest THERMOLAST® K VS/AD/HM series innovation specially tailored to meet the stringent requirements of universal adapter market. 


Universal adapters have become indispensable accessories today, allowing users to connect and charge a wide range of devices. From smartphones, tablets to laptops and other electronic gadgets - advanced materials play a crucial role in elevating the versatility and high performance of these devices. 

KRAIBURG TPE, a global leader in thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) solutions, has once again demonstrated its commitment to innovation by introducing its cutting-edge TPE material in the design of universal adapters. This remarkable development signifies a significant step forward in enhancing connectivity, functionality, and user experience across various industries.

 

Universal Adapter Enhanced with TPE Material

KRAIBURG TPE is proud to announce its latest THERMOLAST® K VS/AD/HM series innovation specially tailored to meet the stringent requirements of universal adapter market. 

KRAIBURG TPE's material solution has been carefully engineered to meet the rigorous demands of universal adapters, bringing along a multitude of advantages, and making it the ideal choice for creative adapter designs.

Our cutting-edge TPE material boasts a remarkable range of advantages, including exceptional adhesion to various substrates such as PA6, PA12, PC, ABS, PC/ABS, ASA, and SAN. This ensures a secure and durable connection in universal adapters, enhancing their reliability. The TPE material also offers a soft, velvety feel for a more comfortable user experience. It exhibits impressive abrasion resistance and scratch resistance, ensuring the longevity of the adapters. Optimized mechanical properties further contribute to the material's durability and performance.

In addition to being resistant to skin oils, sunscreen, or olive oil, our TPE material is also ideal for frequent contact applications. Its halogen content (chlorine + bromine) of less than 900 ppm aligns with environmental and safety standards. The material is processed through injection molding to provide flexibility in design and production. Its natural color allows for versatility in customization.

These material advantages open up a world of possibilities for universal adapters with a wide range of applications, including remote controls, cell phone covers, earphones, tool handles, soft touch surfaces (thumb wheels, push buttons, switches), wearables, and various function and design elements. 

 

Sustainability successes of our TPEs

Besides universal adaptor applications, KRAIBURG TPE’s recent sustainability innovations include a series of material solutions specially developed for automotive, consumer, consumer electronics, wearables and industry applications. Comprising up to 48% post-consumer recycled (PCR) and 50% post-industrial recycled (PIR) content, the material complies with multiple global standards such as FDA raw material compliance, RoHS and REACH SVHC requirements. KRAIBURG TPE also provides customers with product carbon footprint values.
