TPE作为一种高分子弹性材料，具有十分广泛的使用，且具有可循环利用、对环境友好的特点，因此TPE材料现在大有逐渐取代传统橡胶的趋势。这在防毒面具上就有很好的体现，防毒面具是伴随着现代战争而生的产品。是一种针对毒气保护个人呼吸道的一种防护器材。

　　普通的防毒面具基本是由硬塑料和软胶材料两种组成，硬塑料一般都是生塑料，属热压加工而成，质感生硬，佩戴不舒适，且不耐用。软胶部分则由橡胶制成，但橡胶自身有异味，而且存在挥发性物质，也并不是理想的防毒面具制造材料。

　　TPE的诞生，为防毒面具的软性材料生产提供了更为合适的原料来源，TPE具有橡胶的高强度与回弹性，触感柔软，出色的抗疲劳性和耐温性塑料般的可注塑性，重要的是TPE具有环保无毒的特点，这也是它能够脱颖而出的关键。

　　TPE资料可通过注塑包覆方法，直接与PP原料面具粘组成一全体，无需凭借胶粘剂等来进行安装。适用于制作中端的防毒面具罩。相比较而言，TPE几乎百分百可回收利用的特点，完胜硅胶的优异的拉伸回弹性，也确保其在与硅胶的竞争中胜出一筹。

TPE, as a kind of polymer elastic material, is widely used, recyclable and environment-friendly. Therefore, TPE has the trend of gradually replacing the traditional rubber. This is reflected in the gas mask, which is a product born with the modern war. It is a kind of protective equipment for protecting personal respiratory tract against toxic gas.

Ordinary gas masks are basically composed of hard plastic and soft rubber materials. Hard plastic is generally raw plastic, which is processed by hot pressing. It is hard, uncomfortable to wear and not durable. The soft rubber part is made of rubber, but the rubber has peculiar smell and volatile substances, which is not the ideal material for making gas masks.

The birth of TPE provides a more suitable source of raw materials for the production of soft materials for gas masks. First, TPE has the high strength and resilience of rubber, soft touch, excellent fatigue resistance and temperature resistance plastic like injection ability. The most important thing is that TPE has the characteristics of environmental protection and non-toxic, which is the key for it to stand out.

TPE data can be directly bonded with PP raw material mask by injection coating method, so it does not need to be installed by adhesive. Suitable for making middle end gas mask. In comparison, TPE is almost 100% recyclable, which is superior to silica gel in terms of its excellent stretch resilience and ensures that it can win the competition with silica gel.
