What Is TPV?
Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) are thermoplastic elastomers that combine the characteristics of vulcanized rubber with the processing properties of thermoplastics. It exhibits many of the properties found in EDPM, and is compounded by encapsulating EDPM rubber particles in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. Specific properties of TPV include good compression and tension properties, chemical resistance, resistance to temperature extremes, dimensional stability, and durable performance.
TPV is used for applications in the construction, automotive, appliance, electrical, and medical device industries. Some of the custom TPV parts we manufacture at Preferred Plastics are:
- Weather seals
