Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) are versatile materials used in a wide range of applications. However, their properties can be specifically adjusted and improved through special additives. Three particularly important groups of additives are light stabilizers, flame retardants, and dispersing agents.
Thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs) combine the best properties of plastics and elastomers: They are flexible, durable and easy to process. This makes them indispensable in numerous industrial applications.
Chlorinated Polyethylene (CPE) is an important additive for the production of Polyvinyl Chloride (PVC). It is used as an impact modifier and can improve the mechanical properties of the end product. Here, we will examine the properties of CPE as an impact modifier in PVC, its advantages, and limitations.
Plastics and elastomers are essential materials in various industries, such as the automotive, electrical and electronics, and packaging industries. To ensure their quality and durability, primary and secondary antioxidants are frequently added to these materials. Here, the different mechanisms of action of primary and secondary antioxidants, as well as their combinations in plastics and elastomers, are explained.
Summer is vacation season – and with it begins the time of vacation coverage at WTH GmbH in Stade. While some colleagues are enjoying the sun, the beach, or the mountains, the remaining teams ensure that day-to-day operations continue to run smoothly and reliably.

“Lifelong learning is no longer an empty formula, but a survival strategy,” said WTH founder Walter Thieme years ago. The entrepreneur, who constantly expanded his knowledge, recognized that success is not a permanent state but the result of continuous development. That is why he promoted not only his own training but also that of his employees—convinced that individual learning directly contributes to business success.
