Automotive Applications Of Thermoplastic Vulcanizates

 


Thermoplastic Vulcanizates are also known as TPVs.In which thermoplastic rubber is vulcanized during the compounding process. In the compounding process, the polymers get crosslinked to each other and get converted to extra durable material with exceptional strength. It is completely vulcanized EPDM rubber molecules in combination with Polypropylene matrix. This TPV is a new material that covers the gaps that cannot be filled by either plastic and/or rubber. It combines the characteristic such as ease of processing, low compression set, and flexibility. Because of its exceptional characteristics more and more industries and people making TPV their first choice from other materials.

Properties of the TPV Material:

  • Extremely Durable and Fatigue resistant
  • Resistant to Acids, Alkalis, & Most Oils and Lubricants
  • Available in Black and Natural color, and is colorable as well
  • UV & Ozone resistant – Meaning great for outdoor application too
  • High-temperature resistance – works great in the temperature range of -60° C to + 135° C (-81° F to +275° F) with no cracking
  • Reusable and recyclable

Because of all these excellent properties of TPV, it becomes a very useful product and is gaining popularity among the industries. Santoprene is a TPV material manufactured by Exxon-Mobil. Santoprene TPV is widely used in various industries because of its various characteristic. Below are some common industries that widely use TPV material,
