Star Thermoplastics Celebrates 25 Years

BROADVIEW, Ill. - April 3, 2018 - Star Thermoplastic Alloys and Rubbers, Inc. celebrates 25 years of manufacturing this year. Located near Chicago, the manufacturer develops high-quality thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) for various applications at reasonable prices. The company helps businesses of various industries launch innovative and profitable products.

TPEs can be found in numerous products such as tools, wires and cables, food storage, toys, medical devices, sports equipment, tubing, dog toys, shoe inserts, and so much more. The material is such a large part of everyday life that the average person uses a product made from TPE five times before noon each day.

"We are proud to have served our customers for 25 years," said Tom Dieschbourg, Founder, President, and CEO of Star Thermoplastics. "We hope to continue providing the best TPE solutions for the next 25 years and more."

Star Thermoplastics has a reputation for providing valuable solutions that work best for any business purpose. Their research and development team works to create innovative formulas designed specifically for a business's application and processing equipment. The facility's breadth of manufacturing equipment - including single-screw and twin-screw extruders, high capacity and farrel continuous mixers - allow for the achievement of precise and nuanced material properties. It is because of the company's commitment to quality that Star Thermoplastics has succeeded for a quarter of a century.

The TPE manufacturer's products offer better colorability with more vibrant and consistent solutions than similar products. Star Thermoplastics' products are sold under many trade names, such as StarBond®, StarClear®, StarFlex®, StarGrip-X®, StarLexar®, StarMed®, StarPet®, StarPrene®, StarSoft®, StarTuff®, StarXtrude® and DynaStar®.

Some of their more popular product lines address specific material property and performance needs. StarSoftT provides a soft gel-like solution, which can be used in shoe inserts, or other products that require a touchable and ultra-soft application. Their StarClear® line offers some of the clearest TPE available in the market. Formulated to be super clear they are ideal for when both color and clarity are important - such as medical and food grade applications. StarLexar® TPEs include materials with conductive properties as well as non-halogenated flame retardant TPEs. The DynaStar® product line provides a rubber-rich solution that is recyclable, durable, and impact-resistant, and which molds well with other TPEs or polypropylene. The result is a versatile solution for various applications, such as appliances, sports equipment, food storage products, housewares and more.
