Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are also known as thermoplastic rubbers. These are a class of copolymers, which are used are plastic and rubber that includes a material with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties. With the help of compounds as SBS or SEBS it forms Thermoplastic elastomers which are known as TPE, it facilitates to know the general level of performance and asset of the compound
