Product Description

Recyclable TPE Valves | Recyclable Thermoplastic Elastomer Valves Supplier

TPE valve, also known as a thermoplastic elastomer valve, is a type of self-sealing valve made from a combination of TPE (Thermoplastic Elastomer) and PP (Polypropylene) using dual-shot injection molding. Unlike silicone valves, which are made entirely from silicone rubber, TPE valves are recyclable, making them an eco-friendly and cost-effective alternative for fluid control applications. These valves feature a rigid outer ring made of PP, allowing them to be directly assembled onto bottle caps without requiring additional retaining rings, reducing assembly costs and eliminating the risk of valve detachment.

TPE Valve vs. Silicone Valve: What's the Difference?

Feature	TPE Valve	Silicone Valve
Material	TPE+ PP (Thermoplastic Elastomer+ Polypropylene)	Silicone (Food Grade, Medical Grade, Fluorosilicone, etc.)
Recyclability	Recyclable& Eco-friendly	Need Professional Treatment
Assembly	No Need Fixing Ring	Requires Plastic Ring for Fixing
Elasticity	Lower than Silicone	High Elasticity& Flexibility
Chemical Resistance	Lower	Superior Resistance
Application	Suitable for Standard Dispensing	Recommend for Precise Sealing, Controlled Dispensing and Oil-based products

TPE rubber valves are ideal for general use, while silicone elastomer valves are recommended when sealing performance, dosing control, or oil resistance is critical.

Benefits of TPE Valves

★ Eco-Friendly & Recyclable

Made from thermoplastic materials that are easy to recycle and process.

★ Cost-Effective

Reduced assembly costs due to integrated PP ring – no need for additional parts.

★ Efficient Assembly

Direct mount into flip-top or dispensing caps simplifies production lines.

★ Clean Dispensing

Acts as a self-sealing valve, enabling mess-free, spill-proof, and controlled fluid flow.

★ Safe for Consumer Use

Complies with food and personal care product packaging standards.

Applications of TPE Flow Control Valves

TPE flow control valves are suitable for various squeeze dispensing systems, including:

◆ Food & Beverage: Ketchup, honey, sauces
◆ Personal Care: Shampoo, lotion, conditioner
◆ Home Care: Cleaning liquids, detergent bottles
◆ Non-oily formulations: Water-based cosmetics and gels

For high-performance or oil-based products, we recommend switching to our silicone diaphragm valves.

FAQ

Q1: What is a TPE valve?
A: A TPE valve is a self-sealing flow control valve made from thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) and polypropylene (PP) using dual-shot molding. It is recyclable, cost-effective, and widely used in dispensing caps for liquids like food sauces, shampoo, and cleaning agents.

Q2: What are the advantages of using a TPE valve over a silicone valve?
A: TPE valves are recyclable and easier to assemble due to their rigid PP outer ring. This eliminates the need for additional fixing components and reduces production cost. However, silicone valves offer better elasticity and chemical resistance.

Q3: Can TPE valves be used for oil-based products or cosmetics?
A: TPE valves are suitable for water-based or low-viscosity products. For oil-based or high-precision applications, we recommend using silicone valves due to their superior sealing and chemical resistance.

Q4: Are TPE flow control valves food-safe?
A: Yes. The TPE and PP materials used in our valves comply with food contact safety standards and are suitable for use in food and beverage packaging.

Q5: How do I choose between a TPE valve and a silicone valve?
A: Choose a TPE valve for cost-effectiveness, recyclability, and general-purpose applications. Choose a silicone valve for better elasticity, heat resistance, and high-performance sealing in challenging environments.
