TPE is an abbreviation with several meanings depending on context.
In materials science, it stands for thermoplastic elastomer—a flexible, rubber-like plastic used in manufacturing.
In kink and BDSM communities, TPE means total power exchange, describing a relationship where one partner surrenders control to another in most or all aspects of life.
TPE is also the airport code for Taiwan Taoyuan International Airport.
