Housewares
With a variety of high-performance compounds for houseware applications, Aurora Material Solutions is a valued partner to this industry. Our innovative flexible PVC, SBS and SEBS compounds are used for kitchen utensils, container lids, appliances, handle grips for brooms and dustpans, and electronics.
AuroraFlex™ SBS and SEBS compounds that utilize multiple TPE/TPR chemistries to impart high-performance properties for durability and easy processing. These materials have many of the same properties as vulcanized rubber, but can be molded and extruded using conventional thermoplastic process equipment. Thermoplastic processing provides advantages over vulcanized, thermoset rubbers which are processed using a slower and more costly curing process. Most of our TPR formulations are 100% recyclable and are RoHS-compliant. TPE options are available as low as 10A* up to 50D durometer hardness. Some of our TPEs are offered in clear, as well as oil-free grades.
AuroraGuard™ ABS compounds are suitable for a wide range of products, including home appliances. These products comply FDA (Food and Drug Administration), UL listed (UL 94), REACH (Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and Restriction of Chemicals) and NSF (National Sanitation Foundation).
Our compounds are developed by a professional R&D staff with decades of formulating experience. We will work with you to determine the formulation that best meets your needs.
* NOTE: Durometer hardness is measured with a calibrated durometer using the Shore Type-A scale in a room of consistent temperature. The indenter is inserted for 15 seconds to determine if it passes the ASTM D2240-Durometer Hardness test for the desired durometer.
