About EMPILON

Origin of EMPILON® Brand Name

In 1972, since HOTAI developed its own TPR material, we simultaneously improve the mold and injection molding machine to make this technology can be utilized in the shoe sole manufacturer. This material and molding technology continues to be widely used in the industry today.

In order to respond to the fast-growing international market and create material which is more advanced and diverse than TPR. In 1986, we began to develop and use reference formulation technology to produce HTPR (Hydrogenated Thermal Plastic Rubber), and we launched our own brand as EMPILON®

Further Analysis of EMPILON

EMPILON® is a reference blend of A-B-A molecular structure polymers. It consists of hard styrene at both ends and one soft elastic intermediate group such as ethylene/butene or ethylene/propylene. Therefore, injection molding can be performed by heating to produce softening and flow; after cooling, it can be set while maintaining elasticity. EMPILON® can be widely used in injection molding, extrusion molding and blow molding. By simplifying product processing steps,EMPILON® can make products more competitive.
