Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV)
Durable and Flexible Solutions
Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) is a high-performance material that combines the elasticity of rubber with the processability of thermoplastics. At Pro-Plas, we specialize in delivering premium TPV solutions tailored to meet the specific needs of various industries. Whether you require durability, flexibility, or chemical resistance, TPV provides a versatile and reliable solution for a wide range of applications.
What Is Thermoplastic Vulcanizate?
TPV is a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that features cross-linked rubber particles dispersed within a thermoplastic matrix. This unique composition gives TPV its exceptional properties, such as elasticity, durability, and resistance to extreme temperatures and chemicals. Unlike traditional rubber, TPV can be melted and reshaped multiple times, making it an efficient and recyclable material for manufacturing.
Key Characteristics of TPV:
- Elasticity: TPV offers rubber-like flexibility while maintaining its shape after deformation.
- Durability: It resists wear, tear, and impact in demanding environments.
- Chemical Resistance: TPV withstands oils, greases, fuels, and solvents.
- Temperature Stability: It performs reliably across a wide temperature range, from -40°C to 120°C.
- Ease of Processing: TPV can be processed using standard thermoplastic methods like injection molding and extrusion.
