Description

Material Notes:
A hard, black, UV resistant thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. This material combines good physical properties and chemical resistance for use in a wide range of applications. This grade of Santoprene TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for injection molding, extrusion or blow molding. It is polyolefin based and completely recyclable.Key Features:Recommended for applications requiring excellent flex fatigue resistance.Excellent ozone resistance.Designed for improved UV resistance.Although not NSF certified, this product has a Material Supplier Form on file with NSF to facilitate its evaluation for use in applications requiring NSF certification.EU and China RoHS compliant.Applications:Automotive- Interior Mat, Seals, Gaskets and Weather SealsUses:Automotive Applications Automotive Interior Trim Automotive Exterior Trim Automotive Under the HoodAvailability: Africa & Middle East, Europe, North America, Asia Pacific, Latin America and South AmericaInformation provided by ExxonMobil Chemical
