AuroraFlex™

Aurora Material Solutions offers thermoplastic elastomers based on SEBS and SBS polymers, high performance nitrile TPEs, TPOs, as well as flexible PVC compounds, with a variety of physical properties required for non-rigid applications. These include consumer and personal care products, housewares, tool and hardware, grips, lawn and garden, medical, electronics, automotive and non-automotive transportation, sports and leisure, marine, pool and spa, hoses, shoe soles, cove base molding and more.

Aurora Material Solutions isn’t the only supplier of unique thermoplastic elastomers and flexible PVC compounds, but we separate ourselves from the competition as a custom compounder, driven by a continuous improvement mindset. Our goal is to provide the highest quality products and the best customer service in the industry. We work closely with you throughout the process to meet your specific needs, from determining the right formulation for the job, to assistance with colors and compound matching. Aurora Material Solutions strives to be our customers’ “first choice” in flexible materials.

Our experts will work with you to create the right formulation, considering factors like clarity, color, UV resistance, durometer requirements, chemical resistance and the need to accommodate low temperature.

AuroraFlex™ SBS and SEBS compounds 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.

As a cost-efficient alternative to our thermoplastic elastomers, we can provide AuroraFlex flexible PVC compounds that provide elastomeric performance. 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.

Our team will also work with you to complete the formulation, with fillers that offer more specific properties, like reduced shrinkage, increased weight, pigment, lubrication, biocides as well as UV- and chemical-resistance.

* 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.
