Thermoplastic elastomeric (TPE)
Waterstops and capping joints made from thermoplastic elastomeric are characterized by maximum elongation at tear, low temperature flexibility, resistance to ageing and high UV resistance.
Joints of all kinds are produced fast and economically with the thermoplastic jointing, using standard equipment (no vulcanization necessary!).
