Santoprene™ TPV Grades from Celanese Help The Automotive Industry Meet New Challenges
For 30 years Santoprene™ TPVs have been widely used in the automotive industry building lightweight, higher-performance, and more environmentally sustainable vehicles at lower system costs. At SantopSeal, we manufacture weather striping, Seals and Gaskets that are used in the Vehicle’s interiors, exteriors, under the hood and under-car components and has a wide range of application in the Automotive. These Santoprene™ TPV from Celanese-made weather seals come with durable sealing performance, lower weight, part function integration with simplified processing, and long-lasting upgraded aesthetics. This Santoprene™ TPV from Celanese, material is very strong and has resilient properties against oil, grease, impacts, and tearing. also, parts made from this Santoprene™ TPV are durable and aesthetically appealing. These qualities of Santoprene™ TPV make it an ideal material for the Automotive application. Some typical applications are in…
Under The Hood
Improve the performance and cost-effectiveness of under-the-hood automotive components with thermoplastic vulcanizates and EPDM.
Weather Seals
Weatherseal applications benefit from Santoprene TPV because it offers reduced weight, lower system costs, design flexibility and recyclability with the equivalent long-term sealing performance and weatherability of TPE rubber.
Exterior, Body And Chassis
In automotive, Santoprene TPEs are replacing costlier and heavier TPUs and PVC from lightweight seals and gaskets to step-out toughness and stiffness balance for vehicles.
Interior
Santoprene TPEs play an important role in automotive interiors, forming parts that protect the cabin from dirt, wear, and stains, while also providing a soft-touch feel to improve overall passenger comfort.
General Benefits of Santoprene™ TPV/TPE
- Aesthetically appealing: The material delivers seamless aesthetics with “comfort touch” interior skins. Such an enhancement in the inner surface helps in maintaining the flow and also ensures bonding with other materials. Thus, provides a high-end customer experience.
- Lower-weight: The Santoprene TPV material offers a reduction in weight due to its lower density, part design optimization, and material replacement opportunities.
- Ease of Processing: The TPV materials can be easily processed on standard thermoplastics processing equipment resulting in more cost-efficient processing and less waste during part manufacturing. Easier processing combined with a broad processing window enables reduced line start-up times and scrap reduction.
- Durable Sealing: Over the life of a part, Santoprene TPVs offer a uniform sealing performance based on long-term aging durability combined with dimensional stability. They also exhibit excellent physical properties including long-term compression set, low odor and fogging, as well as flexibility and good tear strength.
- Design Flexibility: Ease of processing combined with the suitability for co-extrusion with other polymers enables product designers to tailor and simplify multipart system designs.
