TPE 5170 is a soft, colorable, flame retardant thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. This material has good fluid resistance and is formulated to replace thermoset rubbers such as EPDM, polychloroprene and chlorosulphonated polyethylene. TPE 5170 complies with "Restriction of Hazardous Substances" Directive, Citation 2002-95-EC, commonly known as RoHS. TPE 5170 contains a halogen-based, flame retardant additive package designed to reduce normal flame spread characteristics. TPE 5170 is readily pigmented to a variety of colors using standard color concentrates designed for thermoplastic or crosslinkable polyolefins. TPE 5170 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.
