TPR, or thermoplastic rubber—also known as TPE (thermoplastic elastomer)—is a category of copolymer materials or a physical mix of materials, like plastic and a rubber. TPR products display specific physical features of both rubbers and plastics, as well as both thermoplastic and elastomeric qualities. TPRs are suitable for processing via injection molding.
