Flextron™ Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) shapes excel in applications where superior performance over conventional elastomers is required. These TPE materials exhibit excellent chemical resistance properties, while maintaining consistent mechanical capabilities over a broad temperature range. Due to these characteristics, Flextron™ is a favored solution within the transportation and railway industries, often used to replace conventional rubbers and steels in high performance springs that are used in rolling stock buffer, draw gear, and draft gear applications.
