[Case Analysis] Practical Application of TPE Material ZN60-DP in Gaskets
Time of issue:2026-03-06
I. Product Overview
The ZN60-DP is a new product developed using TPE (thermoplastic elastomer) material, characterized by rapid molding and a pleasant tactile feel. This material is specifically designed to meet the needs of particular industrial applications, offering users an efficient and cost-effective molding solution.
II. Physical Properties
The ZN60-DP exhibits excellent physical properties, with the following specific characteristics:
- High liquidity The material exhibits good flowability during injection molding, which facilitates rapid mold filling and enhances production efficiency.
- High weather resistance It exhibits excellent weathering resistance and can maintain stable physical and chemical properties even in a variety of harsh environments.
- Formability It can be injection-molded at 200℃ and is suitable for a variety of molding processes, meeting diverse production needs.
- Gripability It exhibits excellent encapsulation performance with PP (polypropylene) material, facilitating the composite application of various materials.
In addition, the ZN60-DP features a comfortable feel, rapid molding, and the ability to produce multiple parts in a single cycle, enabling it to meet users’ diverse product requirements.
III. Application Cases
Customer needs ：
The customer’s product is a circular gasket that requires individual molding, multiple pieces per mold, excellent molding performance, and cost-effective materials. As a common industrial component, gaskets are widely used in various types of machinery and equipment. Traditional gasket materials have numerous shortcomings in terms of molding speed and cost-effectiveness, making it difficult for them to meet the demands of modern industrial production for speed and efficiency. Therefore, the customer urgently needs a new material to replace the conventional gasket materials, thereby improving production efficiency and product quality.
Import process ：
- Requirements Analysis First, we conducted an in-depth understanding of the customer’s specific requirements, including the gasket’s shape, dimensions, quantity, and molding specifications.
- Material Recommendations Based on customer requirements, we recommended conducting a comparative test between two materials: ZR60 and ZN60-DP. Both materials demonstrate excellent performance in terms of flowability, weather resistance, and moldability, making them well-suited for gasket molding.
- Test sample testing We provided the customer with samples of two materials and conducted actual injection molding tests. The test results showed that ZN60-DP outperformed ZR60 in terms of molding speed and material utilization, successfully meeting all of the customer’s requirements.
- Mass production After confirming that the ZN60-DP meets the customer’s requirements, we provided the customer with mass production services and ensured the consistency and stability of product quality.
IV. Summary
As a new type of TPE material, ZN60-DP demonstrates outstanding performance in gasket molding applications. Its high fluidity, excellent weather resistance, good moldability, and cost-effectiveness make it an ideal replacement for traditional gasket materials.
