General info

Thermoplastic elastomer Forprene^® TPV (TPE-V) is a two-phase material: a soft elastomeric part that provides rubber-like properties and a hard part that ensures that material is repeatedly processable by standard injection or extrusion molding.

Forprene® TPV offers many benefits such as:

• High elastic recovery within a wide temperature range
• Excellent resistance to UV aging, ozone and weathering
• Excellent resistance to several chemicals, e.g. bases, acids, alcohols, detergents, solvents
• High fatigue resistance
• High thermal and electric insulation values
• Good abrasion resistance
• Excellent colorability for some grades
• Good processability

TPV Forprene® offers a wide range of grades:

• Hardness range from 20 Shore A to 60 Shore D
• With low temperature limit down to -40°C
• With max continuous temperature up to 130°C
• High transparency
• UV stabilized
• Heat stabilized
• Flame retardant
• Low emissions
