KOPEL® is a thermoplastic polyester elastomer, which is a new engineering thermoplastic elastomer combining the properties of conventional rubber and thermoplastic. Its flexibility and elastic recovery are very similar to rubber, but its processability is much superior to rubber. While its flexibility and elastic recovery are similar to rubber, its mechanical properties, heat resistance, weather resistance and UV stability are far better than the performance of conventional rubber.
