What are TPE gloves made of
TPE gloves are made of thermoplastic elastomers, which can be molded more than once when heated. Thermoplastic elastomer also has the same elasticity as rubber.
Industrial manufacturers classify thermoplastic elastomers as “specialty” plastic resins for two reasons. First, they produce less than “basic” resins such as polyethylene, and they cost more. Second, they are used for more specialized applications than “basic” resins.
In addition to TPE gloves, products such as adhesives and shoes are also made of thermoplastic elastomers.
