What Does TPV Stand For?

TPV stands for Thermoplastic Vulcanizate

TPV, or Thermoplastic Vulcanizate, is a class of thermoplastic elastomers that combines the desirable properties of rubber with the processing advantages of thermoplastics. It is composed of a rubber phase that is dynamically crosslinked within a thermoplastic matrix, resulting in a material that exhibits excellent flexibility, resilience, and durability. TPV is widely used in various applications, including automotive parts, industrial components, and consumer products, due to its resistance to heat, chemicals, and UV light.
