Going places with exceptional luggage handles using Thermolast R

The selection of materials for luggage handles demands a balance of performance, durability, and sustainability. Among the foremost options, the RC/PCR/AP - Thermolast R series stands out with its remarkable properties, making it an exceptional choice for innovative luggage manufacturing.

Kraiburg TPE, driven by innovation, offers a comprehensive range of material advantages through its cutting-edge luggage handle formulations. The Thermolast R series delivers several key advantages. It provides excellent adhesion to polypropylene (PP), ensuring handles remain securely attached and enhancing the bag's overall durability. As a suitable alternative to EPDM and PVC-P, it offers improved grip and user comfort due to its lighter, more flexible properties. The material boasts optimised mechanical properties, including excellent tensile strength and wear resistance, which extend the product's lifespan. Its non-sticky surface enhances cleanliness and the aesthetic appeal of luggage handles.

In addition, with temperature stability of up to 80°C, Thermolast R handles are well-suited for international travel, enduring various climatic conditions and frequent temperature fluctuations. Moreover, the material is compatible with injection moulding techniques, enabling efficient and versatile processing.

Kraiburg TPE's innovative TPE materials offer versatile solutions to meet the evolving demands of various industries, delivering excellent performance while enhancing the overall user experience. (Press Release)
