TPE Thermoplastic Elastomer

TPE is a unique material made by combining rubber with polypropylene. This creates a material that is more resistant to stress cracking and will result in a finished product that is more durable and longer lasting. Because TPE is more flexible than polypropylene or co-polymer, it is an excellent choice for AFOs where strict rigidity is not required and for foot orthoses.
