The increase demand for thermoplastic elastomers to
replace higher-cost thermoset rubbers was the impetus for APS Elastomers to
develop enhanced grades of thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) that are softer and
more heat resistant. “Our new grades are a superior, as well as a cost-effective alternative to higher-cost
thermoset rubbers used in a variety of industrial and consumer parts”, says
Stephane Morin, owner of APS Elastomers.
Under the trade name, Viprene®, the newly formulated
P-Series of TPVs are easier to process and provide faster cycle times with
reduced scrap rates. The new TPVs excel in demanding applications such as
appliance, industrial and building materials, as well as interior and exterior vehicle
parts that need to endure extreme temperatures in the presence of oil, grease
and water. In addition to its rubber-like properties, the specially
formulated Viprene® TPVs are fatigue resistant, dimensionally stable and offer a
good compression set, heat aging stability, low temperature flexibility and
excellent U.V. and ozone stability.
