Scuba Flippers with Innovative Materials


KRAIBURG TPE's THERMOLAST® K GP/FG series offers a unique blend of flexibility, durability, and exceptional adhesion properties. 


Scuba diving enthusiasts are always on the lookout for advanced equipment to elevate their underwater adventures, and among these essential tools, scuba flippers play a pivotal role. Traditionally, scuba flippers have been constructed from various materials like rubber and plastics. However, KRAIBURG TPE, the global manufacturer of innovative TPE materials, is taking a giant leap in upgrading scuba flippers with its cutting-edge THERMOLAST® K GP/FG series.

Unlocking New Spectrums of Advantages
The use of KRAIBURG TPE's innovative materials in scuba flippers has unlocked new spectrums of advantages. The flexibility of TPEs allows for optimized energy transfer during each kick, resulting in enhanced propulsion and efficiency underwater. The material's durability ensures prolonged usage, making scuba flippers a reliable companion during countless underwater adventures.

KRAIBURG TPE's THERMOLAST® K GP/FG series offers a unique blend of flexibility, durability, and exceptional adhesion properties. The outstanding adhesion to PP ensures that scuba flippers remain securely bonded, providing confidence in their longevity. Comfort is enhanced with a soft-touch surface that reduces chafing during extended dives. Optimized mechanical properties boost momentum and underwater performance, resulting in smoother movements.

Moreover, these halogen-free TPEs meet environmental and safety standards. With options for in-process recycling and availability in natural and black colors, these TPEs cater to divers' diverse needs.

Sustainability successes of our TPEs
Besides scuba flippers applications, KRAIBURG TPE’s recent sustainability innovations include a series of specially developed material solutions for automotive, consumer, consumer electronics, wearables and industry applications. Comprising up to 48% post-consumer recycled (PCR) and 50% post-industrial recycled (PIR) content, the material complies with multiple global standards such as FDA raw material compliance, RoHS and REACH SVHC requirements. KRAIBURG TPE also provides customers with product carbon footprint values.
