Samsung selects DSM's TPE for soft strap on latest smart watch

摘要

DSM has said that its 'Arnitel' brand of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) is being used by producers of wearable electronics for making soft straps. A new high performance solution that it created specifically for the application has been adopted by several companies, including Samsung for its latest 'Galaxy Gear S2' smartwatch. DSM said 'Arnitel' is resistant to perspiration and to the various oils and other liquids that the strap of the watch is likely to come into contact with during use.
