Santoprene® TPV 8211-55B100

Santoprene TPV 8211-55B100 is a soft, colorable, non-hygroscopic specialty thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. It is formulated to bond to ABS, PS, PC, PMMA, ASA, PET and PPO/PS blends, making it ideal for hard/soft overmolding and soft-touch applications. This grade of Santoprene TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for injection molding or extrusion. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.

Key Features:

• Excellent adhesion onto ABS, PS, PC, PMMA and ASA (cold insert or 2K molding)
• Designed for superior part surface appearance
• Ideal for soft-touch applications
• Non-hygroscopic; requires little to no drying
• UL listed for plastics components (U.S. and Canada)
• Recyclable within the manufacturing stream

Processing Form:

• Injection Molding
• Multi Injection Molding
• Coextrusion

Processing Notes:
Desiccant drying for 3 hours at 70°C (160°F) can be performed if desired. For two-shot molding, recommended melt temperature is 210–230°C with mold temperatures of 30–50°C. For insert molding, recommended melt temperature is 230–250°C with mold temperatures of 25–50°C. Due to its inherent bonding nature, this material may occasionally agglomerate during shipping or storage. Santoprene TPV is incompatible with acetal and PVC.
