Bjørn Thorsen’s Product Portfolio at Fakuma 2026
At Fakuma 2026, we are bringing two complementary areas of expertise, giving visitors a possibility to explore a broad range of materials and solutions that can meet their diverse project requirements.
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs):
Bjørn Thorsen offers one of the largest portfolios of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPEs) in Europe, covering a full spectrum of materials, including TPO, TPE, TPV, TPU, TPC, TPS, EVA and SBC. The portfolio features renowned brands from industry-leading manufacturers, such as:

- Estane® TPU from Lubrizol
- Medical polymers, including Santoprene® TPV MED, Hytrel® TPC MED, and Ateva® G Medical EVA
Customized TPE Compounds:
When a commercially available TPE grade doesn’t fully meet an application requirement, a customized compound can provide the right solution.

The brand’s proprietary product range includes:
- Opti-Pren™ TPV

- Opti-Soft™ TPE
Customized Compound Solutions (CCS) goes beyond the development of customized materials. Depending on the project, customers can also benefit from the capabilities of our Plastics Applications Lab and R&D expertise, supporting development requirements, such as:
- Scrap reuse programs
- Recycled content integration
- Processability enhancements
- Mechanical property optimization
- Coloring and aesthetics
- Additivations
Advanced Polymer Solutions:
Bjørn Thorsen’s APS portfolio complements the TPE offering with a broad selection of specialty raw materials. The portfolio includes High-Performance and Engineering Polymers, Medical Polymers, Adhesive Solutions (including Pearlbond™ and Pearlstick™ TPU from Lubrizol for hot-melt and solvent-based adhesive applications), Additives and Modifiers.
