The automobile industry continuously evolves with new materials and technologies to enhance performance, durability, and efficiency. One such innovation is the use of Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) and Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) seals and gaskets. These materials offer numerous advantages over conventional rubber and plastic components, making them a preferred choice for modern automotive applications.
Why TPE & TPV Seals and Gaskets?
TPE and TPV materials combine the flexibility of rubber with the processing ease of thermoplastics. Their benefits include:
- Excellent Flexibility & Elasticity – Ensuring tight sealing performance.
- Superior Weather Resistance – Withstanding extreme temperatures, UV exposure, and harsh environmental conditions.
- Lightweight – Reducing overall vehicle weight and improving fuel efficiency.
- Cost-Effective & Recyclable – Environmentally friendly and economical for mass production.
- Chemical & Oil Resistance – Providing durability in automotive fluid environments.
- Preapproval for automotive certification and automotive specs – Please see below list of preapproved TPV Material for various Automotive Product Specifications including major OEMs
