Santoprene® TPV 123-50W175
Santoprene TPV 123-50W175 is 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 thin wall applications. This grade of Santoprene TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for injection molding, extrusion, blow molding, thermoforming or vacuum forming. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.
Key Features:
- Recommended for applications requiring excellent flex fatigue resistance
