Megol
The Advanced Engineering Polymer for Strength and Versatility
What is Megol?
Megol is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) known for its exceptional flexibility, durability, and resistance to extreme environments. It offers the elastic properties of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics, making it widely used in automotive, industrial, medical, and consumer goods applications.
At Stephens Plastics, we specialise in Megol plastic solutions, ensuring our customers receive superior engineering-grade materials tailored to their specific requirements.
Why Choose Megol for Your Application?
Megol is an industry-leading material offering exceptional flexibility, chemical resistance, and impact strength. At Stephens Plastics, we recommend Megol plastic because it provides:
- High Elasticity & Toughness – Retains flexibility even at extreme temperatures.
- Outstanding Abrasion & Impact Resistance – Suitable for high-stress applications.
- Exceptional Chemical & Weather Resistance – Withstands oils, fuels, and environmental exposure.
- Thermoplastic Processing Benefits – Easily moulded, extruded, and welded.
- Excellent Adhesion to Other Materials – Ideal for overmoulding applications.
Megol vs. Other Engineering Polymers: How Does It Compare?
Selecting the right engineering-grade thermoplastic is essential for product longevity and performance. Here’s how Megol plastic compares:
| Feature | Megol (TPE) | Silicone Rubber | PVC |
|---|---|---|---|
| Flexibility & Elasticity | Excellent | Excellent | Good |
| Abrasion Resistance | Outstanding | High | Moderate |
| Chemical Resistance | Exceptional | High | Moderate |
| UV & Ozone Resistance | Excellent | High | Moderate |
| Processability | High (Injection Moulding & Extrusion) | Low | High |
| Recyclability | Yes | No | Limited |
Unlike traditional rubber, Megol sheets provide superior processability and recyclability, making them ideal for sustainable manufacturing.
