Santoprene® TPV was created out of a simple concept that revolutionized the industry more than 40 years ago. Developed as a ready-to-use material that behaves like a rubber, but processed like a thermoplastic, Santoprene® TPV is proven solution serving markets as diversified and demanding as automotive, medical, building and construction, and consumer products.
Compared to materials such as EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) or other thermoset rubbers, Santoprene® thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) significantly simplify manufacturing resulting in total system cost reductions. Santoprene® TPV also provides weight reduction through part redesign and in-process recycling during the conversion phase and the potential for recycling at the end of life.
