Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) is a type of thermoplastic elastomer that offers rubber-like flexibility, excellent impact strength and high temperature resistance. TPV consists of a rubber compound of polypropylene (PP) and vulcanized ethylene-propylene-diene monomer (EPDM), making it a durable material in harsh environmental conditions.

Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV):

• Properties: TPV offers high elasticity and durability over a wide temperature range. Its high heat resistance and excellent chemical resistance make it particularly suitable for automotive and industrial applications. Despite its flexible nature, TPV is highly tear resistant and UV and ozone resistant. It can be easily processed and recycled by injection molding, extrusion and blow molding.

• Areas of Use: TPV is used in parts that require high performance such as sealing gaskets, flexible fasteners, cable coatings, hoses and vibration dampers in the automotive industry. It is also frequently preferred in white goods, plumbing elements and medical devices. Thanks to its durability, it can also be used in applications such as equipment exposed to the outdoors and waterproof membranes.

TPV offers a reliable solution in applications requiring rubber-like elasticity and durability. It stands out as a long-lasting and versatile engineering material with its structure resistant to environmental effects, chemicals and high temperatures.
