 +====== Modulor / Vreeberg ​ ======
 +
 +The only TPE film I could find in Europe. ​

 +
 +[[https://​www.modulor.de/​en/​tpe-film-th-0-25-mm-w-400-mm-colourless-transparent-oxid.html|Product link]].
 +
 +It is a **SEBS** film made by Dutch company [[https://​vreeberg.nl/​en/​sebs-film/​|Vreeberg]].
 +
 +
 +===== Sealing =====
 +Able to seal using [[soft-robotics:​heat-sealers:​pfs-300|PFS-300]] impulse heat sealer.
 +Current configuration:​
 +
 +  * **TIME**: 6
 +  * **PRESSURE**:​ Snap hit and keep pressure with my forearm, not whole body.
 +
 +===== Gluing =====
 +
 +Have tried many glues of all types. including a silicone sealant and Loctite 401 recommended on [[https://​dm.henkel-dam.com/​is/​content/​henkel/​lt-2662a-brochure-design-guide-for-bonding-rubber-and-thermoplastic-elastomers-volume-3-2011|Henkel'​s design guide]]. It could glue to a PU (polyurethane tube, recommended type by Vreeerg), but the glue always disintegrated part of the film which made it weaker eventually under high pressure.
 +
 +Best solution I found so far is **Zip-Ties**.
