ROCHESTER, IL (January 23, 2008) - Elastocon® TPE Technologies, Inc. is the new name of Elastocon, Inc., the TPE compound and concentrate company, that has been providing standard and custom formulated TPEs since 1999.

Located in Rochester, Illinois, Elastocon TPE Technologies, Inc. offers TPE compounds as well as concentrates.

According to David Barkus, company spokesperson, “The name change better reflects the primary focus of Elastocon. This is to offer the latest TPE technologies to our existing and rapidly expanding customer base. Our intent is to become more synonymous with the entire TPE community.”

This unique TPE formulator is set apart from the larger, better known competitors, by their ability to develop and provide newer chemistries to their customers, at very competitive prices. Elastocon products provide unparalleled process consistency, rapid cycling, and exceptional surface appearance.

Elastocon TPE Technologies has been recognized within the industry for improving the integrity and performance of both consumer and industrial products. Mr. Barkus states, “We enjoy what we do and we feel confident that the industry recognizes the personalized interaction and quality service we provide.
