TPEs for Drinking Water Applications
When our water supply goes on its journey to our taps, we don’t want its quality to be impaired by unwanted odours, colours or flavours.
We have developed Dryflex DW, a special range of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) especially for applications that come into contact, either directly or indirectly, with drinking water. This can include both domestic and commercial applications such as plumbing seals, pipe fittings and shower-heads.
Dryflex DW TPEs are designed to meet the requirements for the Germany drinking water regulations KTW. Â In developing the Dryflex DW TPE compounds, we carefully selected the raw materials to ensure they are compliant with food contact and water hygiene standards.
