Viprene® TPV Optimized with Specific Softness for Handles and Grips
Viprene® thermoplastic vulcanizate
(TPV) exhibit many properties similar to rubber such as flexibility over a wide
temperature range and resistance to degradation from water, oils and greases.
It can also be processed using conventional injection molding and
extrusion equipment.
Available in Shore hardness range of 45A-50D, Viprene® can be
optimized with specific softness needed in industrial, construction and
appliance applications. Lower processing costs as well as adhesion to a broad
range of substrates make it an ideal substitute of more costly material needed
in soft touch parts such as overmolded grips for power tools, appliance, and utensil
handles.
In
addition to its rubber-like properties, Viprene® TPVs are fatigue resistant,
dimensionally stable and offer very low compression set, heat aging stability,
low temperature flexibility and excellent U.V. and ozone stability.

APS Elastomers’ TPU Improves Post-Processing Operations
APS Elastomers latest
thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU) provides good aesthetics, low tackiness and
process efficiency for use in film, sheet, and extrusion coating and
cured-in-place pipe applications. The specially formulated TPU maintains a low
coefficient of friction and contact clarity without the need of lubricants,
waxes or inorganic fillers that cause blooming or affect transparency in end
products. Performance properties include; resistance to abrasion, chemical and
heat resistance, as well as good adhesion, and transparency. Additionally,
their low tackiness improves post-processing operations such as printing, hot
stamping, laminating, and assembly.
With a Shore hardness
range from 85A – 50D, the TPU allows faster processing and lower power
requirements due to easier flow properties. “Our customers can expect higher
production rates compared to typical TPUs at similar hardness levels”, says
Stephane Morin, owner of APS Elastomers.

"Our commitment to
the North American TPE market is demonstrated by our reputation for developing
new products and advanced technologies," says Morin.
“By continuously expanding our
portfolio and offering beside-the-press consulting we can better serve our
customers."

APS Elastomers Offers TPUs with Improved Extrudability
APS Elastomers has developed a hard thermoplastic polyurethane (TPU) that is easier to extrude. The new series of TPUs offers the extrudability of softer grades providing tubing manufacturers the advantages of hard TPUs without their production drawbacks. "The specially formulated TPU enables a thinner wall for tubing, which requires less material; allowing significant cost savings for tubing manufacturers," says Stephane Morin, owner of APS Elastomers. The ability to use harder grades of TPUs allows increased productivity and
cost efficiency; affording processors and OEMs additional design options. Additionally, the TPUs offer higher burst pressures while retaining the advantages of softer TPUs. Ranging in Shore hardness from 50D to 74D, the TPU improves extrusion output without loss of melt viscosity or crystallization in the die or on the screw.

APS Elastomers Increases TPE Production
APS Elastomers has increased its thermoplastic elastomer
(TPE) production by 10%. Growing demand from OEMs, processors and
manufactures of wire and cable, and tubing and hoses used in industrial,
transportation, and electronic applications are the impetus for the increase.
“Increasing production capacity, developing new technologies and product
offerings to customers allow us to prove our commitment to the TPE market in
North America”, says Stephane Morin, owner of APS Elastomers.
APS Elastomers’ TPEs can be manufactured to precise
specifications; producing materials that best suits customers’ performance
requirements. “Our chemical and manufacturing expertise allow us to compound
standard, as well as custom grades for individual and unique applications”,
says Morin.
