TPE Solutions of Shirley, MA Becomes Official North American Headquarters and Distributor for PRESEAL® Conductive TPEs
Positions New Conductive TPEs to Meet Needs of Growing $1 Billion Market
SHIRLEY, MA (January 18, 2007) - TPE Solutions, Inc., one of North America's leading sources for industry's broadest lines of thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), has just become the official North American distributor for the patented lines of the only highly conductive thermoplastic elastomers to meet the worldwide standards for EMI shielding applications in electronics.
The product lines, sold under the PRESEAL® name in 24 countries throughout the world and now available in North America, have significantly improved mechanical and electrical properties over any other conductive TPE on the market. Further, the TPE compounds offer numerous benefits over silicones, particularly in their moldability.
They are being introduced to North American OEMs as a lower cost, easier-to-process, environmentally-safe, higher attenuation, higher shielding, more design flexible, injection moldable and extrudable and coinjection/multi-shot capable replacements for silicones and lesser effective TPEs used for EMI shielding applications. Applications are diverse, and growing rapidly in this already $1 billion market.
Applications range from mobile phones, laptop and personal computers and PDAs to handheld communications devices, outdoor and indoor telecommunications device and cardiac defibrillators and other electrical/electronic equipment requiring electromagnetic interference (EMI) gaskets and shields. Even today's aircraft gas tanks require EMI shielding to protect planes from lightning strikes. Automobile door and alarm remotes are yet another popular application.
According to Jonas Angus, President of TPE Solutions, Inc. whose firm warehouses and distributes the plastic indiustry's broadest line of TPEs for molders, extruders and OEMs throughout North America, "PRESEAL ® highly conductive elastomers are the newest offering from Premix Oy (sic, means Inc. in Finnish). Parent company to Premix Thermoplastics inc. in Wisconsin, a growing producer of conductive engineering plastics raw materials. Premix Oy is headquartered in Rajamaki, Finland."
Mr. Angus continues,"The PRESEAL TPEs are far superior to any other EMI shielding materials on the market, with better moldability and better shielding properties, bar none. And, without effective shielding, operation of those products noted above would make them run erratically, become short-lived or even render them useless."
"From our 3 North American warehouses, plus quick specialty compounding and overnight shipping capabilities from various sites, including Finland," continues Mr. Angus, "we can offer a better product for EMI shielding applications at highly competitive prices. One of the primary benefits of the new, patented product line is the design flexibility and processing benefits they offer over silicone."
TPE Solutions, Inc., founded in 2004 by world renowned TPE expert Jonas Angus, stands apart from most TPE material suppliers by offering all types of TPE technologies, which include olefinic elastomers, TPVs, SEBS, MPR, TPU, COPE , COPA as well as ETPVs for higher temperature requirements and specialty alloys. Applications for TPE Solutions' compounds include automotive applications, building and construction products, consumer goods (durable and non-durable), appliances, electrical and electronics products, fluid delivery goods, housewares, medical devices, packaging, sporting goods and telecommunications. Many of the TPEs can also be formulated to meet NSF and FDA specifications.
