In this paper, research on the development of methods for the production of thermoplastic elastomers for construction purposes based on styrene-butadiene-styrene rubber filled with expanded perlite, studied the performance characteristics of these materials. Various methods for the modification of thermoplastic elastomers, their processing modes and methods of controlling their properties are considered.
Keywords: thermoplastic elastomers, expanded perlite, production methods, material characteristics, density, physical and mechanical properties
