Santoprene® TPV 121-67W175
Santoprene TPV 121-67W175 is a soft, black, UV resistant thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. This material combines good physical properties and chemical resistance, and is designed for thin wall or complex profile extrusion applications. This grade of Santoprene® TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for extrusion, thermoforming or vacuum forming. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.
Key Features:
- Recommended for applications requiring excellent flex fatigue resistance
- Excellent ozone resistance
- Designed for improved UV resistance
- Designed for extruding thin wall sections with excellent definition (down to 0.33 mm [0.013”] radius) and to maximize run length with minimal build-up of material on screen packs or narrow sections of dies
Processing Form:
- Extrusion
- Sheet Extrusion
- Thermoforming
- Coextrusion
Processing Notes:
Desiccant drying for 3 hours at 80°C (180°F) is recommended. Santoprene TPV has a wide temperature processing window from 175 to 230°C (350 to 450°F) and is incompatible with acetal and PVC. Do not exceed 15% drawdown.
Applications:
Automotive, Building & Construction, Consumer Goods
Hardness:
72A
Delivery Form:
Pellets
