CCS - Customized Compound Solution by Bjørn Thorsen A/S
Opti-Pren™ TPV 6990-90A
Opti-Pren™ TPV 6990-90A is a medium hardness, general purpose thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) designed for durable technical applications. This black grade is based on more than 50% recycled material, making it an eco-friendly alternative while maintaining strong mechanical performance. It combines good tensile strength, high elongation and reliable processing on conventional thermoplastic equipment.
Key Features:
- Medium hardness TPV grade
- Contains >50% recycled material
- Eco-friendly alternative with reduced environmental impact
- Good tensile strength and mechanical performance
- High elongation at break
- Polyolefin-based and fully recyclable
- Shore A hardness: 93
- Density: 0.93 g/cm³
- Black color
Processing Form:
- Extrusion
- Injection molding
- Thermoforming
Processing Notes:
Drying is required prior to processing for extrusion applications. It is recommended to use a desiccant dryer for a minimum of 3 hours at 80°C to achieve optimal material performance and surface quality. Typical extrusion temperatures range from 185–200°C, while injection molding temperatures range from 190–210°C depending on the zone. This grade is incompatible with acetal and PVC; equipment must be thoroughly purged before processing.
Purpose:

Opti-Pren TPV is Designed with Circularity in Mind
Recyclable
Opti-Pren TPV can incorporate post-consumer (PCR) or post-industrial (PIR) recycled content, transforming TPV scrap into high-quality materials for new applications.
Closed-Loop Solutions
Customized Compound Solutions facilitates take-back programs for Santoprene TPV or other TPV scrap, ensuring efficient reuse and reduced landfill waste.
Eco-Friendly Production
Requires less energy to reprocess compared to traditional rubber, reducing carbon emissions during manufacturing.
Custom Recycled Grades
Tailored formulations ensure that recycled Opti-Pren TPV meets your specific application requirements without compromising on quality.
Longevity
Durable, high-performance properties reduce the need for replacements, conserving resources over time.
