APS Elastomers’ Viprene® TPV: Lightweight Alternative for Use in Automotive Exterior Applications
APS
Elastomers has developed a thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) for use in
automotive exterior applications. Viprene® TPVs are a cost-effective,
lightweight alternative for use in mirror mounts, mud guards and splash
shields, bumpers, antenna bezels, and gaskets, seals and grommets. Available
in natural or black pellets with a Shore hardness range of 35A-50D, Viprene®
TPVs provide flexibility over a wide temperature range and resistance to
degradation from water, oil, and grease. Additionally, Viprene® TPVs offer a better
compression set, are fatigue resistant, dimensionally stable and offer heat
aging stability, low temperature flexibility and excellent U.V. and ozone
stability. “Our Viprene® TPV can be
formulated to individual specifications needed in a variety of automotive
exterior applications”, says Stephane Morin, owner of APS Elastomers.
For more information on Viprene® grades for extrusion
and injection molding, as well as other grades for conventional, unique or
highly durable applications, contact APS Elastomers, info@apstpe.com

APS Elastomers Increases Compounding Capacity to Meet TPV Demand
Demand for high performance, lightweight materials
combined with lower processing costs as well as adhesion to a broad range of
substrates make thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) an ideal substitute of more
costly material needed in a variety of applications. “Increasing our
compounding capacity allows us to meet growing demand and continue our commitment
to the elastomer market in North America”, says Stephane Morin, owner of APS
Elastomers.
APS Elastomers’ Viprene®
TPVs are compounded using a polyolefin phase with a cross-linked EPDM phase;
giving products rubber-like performance in demanding industrial, automotive,
and construction applications.
Available in natural or black pellets with a Shore hardness
range of 35A-50D, Viprene®
TPVs exhibit many properties similar to rubber; flexibility over a wide
temperature range and resistance to degradation from water, oil, and grease.
Additionally, Viprene® TPVs offer a better compression set, are fatigue
resistant, dimensionally stable and offer heat aging stability, low temperature
flexibility and excellent U.V. and ozone stability.
