TPE Mats – What is TPE and How Does it Differ from Other Materials?
TipsCar mats are made of various materials that determine their durability and functionality. Rubber products and those made of TPE materials are distinguished by their higher durability and resistance to external factors. This innovative solution is gaining popularity year by year.
What is TPE material?
TPE is a thermoplastic elastomer, also known as thermoplastic rubber. It is a unique material that combines the mechanical properties of thermoplastics with the flexibility and elasticity of rubber. Thanks to this TPE material is a versatile material used in various industries. With the development of the automotive industry, the demand for easy-to-obtain, soft materials has increased, which is why TPE has found its application in the production car mats.The TPE manufacturing process results in lower energy consumption compared to other plastics. TPE material It also features a shorter curing time and lower processing temperature. Mats manufactured using material TPE, look elegant, are highly resistant to dirt and easy to clean. The key advantages of the TPE material also include the possibility of recycling it. Importantly, it does not contain any substances harmful to health.
Car mats made of TPE material meet the aesthetic expectations of users
When it comes to aesthetics, drivers most often choose velour mats, which are characterized by a delicate structure, elegant finish and a wide range of colors. However, car mats made of TPE can also look elegant. Application TPE materials in car mats FroGum made it possible to obtain a satin structure of the material, which is why they look more aesthetically pleasing than traditional rubber mats.
High resistance of TPE material to external factors
In the durability category, the mats are made of TPE materials have a significant advantage over their velour counterparts. They are resistant to wear, weather conditions and various chemical substances. They do not absorb moisture, and thanks to their raised edges (FroGum in this case, MaxEdge™ Technology) retains water and dirt within the mat, which protects the vehicle interior from dirt. High durability allows you to keep the mats in perfect condition for a long time. Water or a small amount of detergent is enough to maintain them. Car mat maintenance with TPE materials it is therefore easy and convenient.
Safety of using TPE car mats
Car mats affect not only the aesthetics of the car interior, but above all, driving safety. Car mats FroGum, produced from TPE materials premium, provide a higher level of protection than traditional velour mats thanks to the unique UltraFlex Dual Polymer™ Technology. They are resistant to all weather conditions and mechanical damage. The proprietary composition of materials makes them durable in extreme environmental conditions. Their perfect fit to the floor of a specific car model guarantees optimal stability. Additionally, they have an anti-slip structure that prevents the mat from moving and allows for safe maneuvering of the vehicle's pedals. It is also worth noting that TPE material is completely non-toxic. Car mats FroGum they do not emit a specific rubber smell.
