TPV reinforced plastics provide superior weather resistance, excellent compression set, and enhanced mechanical strength, making them ideal for automotive seals, construction gaskets, and industrial components requiring long-term environmental durability and sealing performance.
TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanized Viscosity) is a thermoplastic vulcanizate classified as a thermoplastic elastomer.
This material is typically composed of thermoplastic resins (such as polypropylene PP) and rubber (like ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber) through a dynamic full vulcanization process. During this process, the rubber phase undergoes vulcanization into micro-particles under high temperatures and mechanical shear forces, which are then uniformly dispersed within the continuous thermoplastic resin phase.
Combining the elasticity of traditional vulcanized rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastics, TPV can be processed using standard thermoplastic equipment for extrusion, injection molding, blow molding, and other manufacturing methods. Additionally, TPV exhibits excellent weather resistance, chemical resistance, aging resistance, and superior permanent compression deformation resistance.
