A hard, black thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) in the thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) family. This material has low friction and is especially designed for use as a co-extruded slip-coat layer on weatherseal applications. It can be used as an alternative to spray-on slip-coat systems used in automotive weatherseal applications. This grade of Santoprene®Â TPV is shear-dependent and can be processed on conventional thermoplastics equipment for extrusion. It is polyolefin based and recyclable within the manufacturing stream.Key Features· Designed for applications requiring excellent wear resistance, excellent weather resistance or part surface with low friction factor.· Co-extrudable with other olefin thermoplastic rubbers.· Designed for excellent surface smoothness and flexibility as slip-coating material.
