FAQ

What are thermoplastic polyamide elastomers?

Thermoplastic polyamide elastomers (PAE, TPA, TPE-A, PEBA, COPA) are a unique set of high-performance thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) block copolymers, based on nylon and polyethers or polyesters. PAEs consist of alternating hard and soft segments joined by amide linkages. They are used mainly in areas where other thermoplastic elastomers cannot compete or perform, especially at lower temperatures.

What are the major applications for thermoplastic polyamide elastomers in the world today?

The major applications include use in sporting/leisure goods (i.e., winter sports and high-end athletic and running shoes) and equipment, automotive parts, hydraulic and pneumatic equipment, some polymer modification, wire and cable jacketing and tubing, other electrical/electronic uses, medical applications, and miscellaneous consumer product parts.

Who are the major producers of thermoplastic polyamide elastomers?

The major producers of thermoplastic polyamide elastomers include Arkema, Evonik Degussa, Sipol, Ems-GRIVORY, Ube Industries, and some smaller mainland China producers.

Which country or region has the largest market for thermoplastic polyamide elastomers?

The European region continues to be the largest producer and consumer of PAEs, as well as the largest exporter in 2020.

What was the effect of the COVID-19 pandemic on the global PAE market, and what will be the growth for PAE in the next five years?

Global consumption of PAE is forecast to grow at an average rate of 4-5% per year in the next five years. Or, we could say: Global consumption of PAE is forecast to be optimistic in the next five years, supported by all end use applications.
