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.
APS Elastomers is committed to providing in-depth and
high level customer and technical service, problem-solving, product development
and support to designers, OEMs and processors; building relationships based on
knowledge, trust and experience. APS Elastomers also provides
beside-the-press consulting, full laboratory services, and expedited shipment.
