Product Features

Thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and thermoplastic rubber (TPR) have become increasingly popular in various industrial applications due to their unique properties, such as flexibility, toughness, and chemical resistance. However, these materials are susceptible to degradation and deterioration over time, especially when exposed to harsh environmental conditions. That’s why the use of suitable oils and lubricants is mandatory to enhance the performance and prolong the lifespan of TPEs and TPRs.

One of the most effective lubricants for TPEs and TPRs is industrial-grade white oil. Also known as mineral oil or liquid paraffin, white oil is a highly refined petroleum-derived product that has low volatility, excellent stability, and negligible toxicity. It has a white or colorless appearance, odorless, and tasteless, making it ideal for use in food-grade or medical-grade applications.

Product Application

Industrial-grade white oil is typically classified into different viscosity grades, ranging from low to high, depending on the desired application. For TPEs and TPRs, a low-viscosity grade of white oil, such as ISO VG 15 or 22, is suitable for achieving optimum lubrication and slip properties. The white oil penetrates the surface of the plastic material, reducing friction and preventing surface damage or scratches.

Apart from lubricating TPEs and TPRs, industrial-grade white oil also provides other benefits, such as:

1. Thermal stability: White oil has a high flash point and can withstand high temperatures without decomposing or producing harmful vapors. This property makes it ideal for use in high-temperature applications, such as automotive parts, electrical insulation, and industrial seals.

2. Water resistance: White oil is hydrophobic, meaning it repels water and prevents the plastic material from absorbing moisture. This makes it ideal for outdoor applications or where the plastic material is exposed to high humidity or moisture.

3. Compatibility: White oil is compatible with most TPEs and TPRs, as well as other plastic materials. It does not react with the plastic or affect its mechanical properties, making it safe for prolonged use.

In conclusion, industrial-grade white oil is an excellent lubricant for TPEs and TPRs, providing enhanced performance, increased lifespan, and improved surface quality. It is important to choose the right viscosity grade and ensure the purity and quality of the oil to achieve the desired results. With the right care and maintenance, TPEs and TPRs can offer superior performance and reliability, even in harsh industrial environments.
