Vulcanized Elastomer for High Resistance and Long-Term Stability
<p><strong>TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) </strong>is a<strong> crosslinked thermoplastic elastomer based on EPDM and PP</strong>, known for its excellent mechanical strength, chemical resistance, and permanent deformation resistance.<br />
Thanks to its crosslinked structure, TPV combines the flexibility of vulcanized rubber with the processability of thermoplastics, making it ideal for applications exposed to atmospheric agents, oils, and prolonged compression.<br />IonPlast offers TPV in various grades and hardness levels, with excellent adhesion to PP and availability in natural or black color. </p>
