Looking for a rubber alternative with a soft, easy grip and good
colorability? Viprene® thermoplastic
vulcanizate (TPV) exhibit many properties similar to rubber such as flexibility
over a wide temperature range and resistance to degradation from water, oil and
grease. “Good colorability allows OEMs and processors to manufacture their end
product in a variety of bold colors”, says Stephane Morin, owner of APS
Elastomers.

In addition to its good colorability and 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.
It can also be processed using conventional injection molding and
extrusion equipment.
Available in a Shore hardness range of 35A-50D, Viprene®
TPV can be optimized with specific softness and grip needed in industrial,
construction, appliance, and electronic 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. “Offered in natural pellets, APS Elastomers can assist
customers with a broad range of color concentrate”, adds Morin.
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
