Brands in Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV)

THEMOPLASTIC COMPOUNDS BASED ON PP AND DYNAMICALLY VULCANIZED EPDM Taroplast trade name for thermoplastic compounds based on PP-EPDM. The EPDM elastomeric portion is dynamically vulcanized during production process.Taroprene is therefore classied as TPV: Thermoplastic Vulcanizate.• Produced in spherical granules to facilitate rolling and hopper feeding.• Typical supply packaging is in 25 kg bags. Big bags or octabins available on request

Various innoprene products supplied by Kumho Polychem Co.,Ltd. are thermoplastic elastomers of polyolefin type, and they can replace the existing thermosetting products of EP(D)M or CR rubber. The material is also able to replace soft PVC that is recently being discussed for its environmental problems. Moreover, the material is of low weight, therefore it is possible to develop light-weighted products. Innoprene is a product that is already completely cross-linked and there is no need for an extra cross-link process before its ultimate use. Also, it is possible to simplify the processes and reduce the prime cost as it is an environment-friendly material allowing for an easy recycle of scraps resulted from processing. Innoprene is possible to mold using devices of extrusion molding, injection molding, blow molding and calendar processing as in normal plastic resin. Especially, it is among the new materials that are possible to apply in extrusion area. (automobile glass run channel and construction window gasket etc)

TPV ELASTOPRENE ® is available in a wide range of hardnesses and is presented in pellets in different packages, according to the needs of each client. It is transformed with standard plastic (polypropylene) machinery. There are suitable grades for the different transformation processes: extrusion, injection molding and extrusion-blown.

ECO-FLEX RTPV, a recycled rubber based TPV, combines the performance characteristics of rubber, such as flexibility and anti-skid, with the processing ease of conventional thermoplastic materials. ECO-FLEX RTPV grades have replaced thermoset rubber in automotive applications such radiator air deflectors, gas tank strap pads and splash shields at several OEMs including Ford, GM and Chrysler.

ESPOLEX® TPE Series is distinguished by offering many low-density grades that can provide substantial weight and cost savings over higher-density thermoplastic elastomers.

SOLPLAST® is a range of thermoplastic elastomer compounds based on styrene block copolymers such as SBS, SEBS and SEEPS, a so-called TPE-S product. These compounds have rubber-like properties, yet flow like thermoplastics when exposed to heat and pressure. TPE-S based products are characterized by low compression set and good resistance to various media. Special types with adhesion properties to various thermoplastics complement the portfolio.

Neoplast™ family of TPV compounds are primarily based on PP/EPDM chemistry, providing high elasticity at low and high temperatures, excellent compression set, UV resistance and melt processability.Neoplast™ is well suited for applications that require rubber like properties such as better compression set, resiliency, tension set, flex fatigue performance and overall higher mechanical properties.

SI-TPV is a patented dynamic vulcanized thermoplastic Silicone-based elastomers made by special compatible technology, it helps silicone rubber dispersed in TPU evenly as 2~3 micron droplets under a microscope. This unique material provides a good combination of properties and benefits from thermoplastics and fully cross-linked silicone rubber. Suits for wearable device surface, artificial leather, Automotive, Phone bumper, Electronic devices accessories (earbuds, eg), high-end TPE, TPU, TPV, Si-TPE, Si-TPU industries.

Elastron V is the brand name of cross-linked EPDM based thermoplastic elastomer vulcanizates. Elastron V (TPV) grades have excellent mechanical properties in order to meet our customers' expectations such as sustainability of quality, flexibility and low compression set.

The Nitriflex line supplies an increasingly demanding market and different market segments, producing elastomers for the automobile, construction, footwear, food, and textile industries, among other
