TPV 3150 - Vulcanized Rubber Elastomer Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) is the preferred solution for critical applications requiring excellent elasticity and long-term performance. With faster and more economical processing, TPV 3150 - Vulcanized Rubber Elastomer offers a sustainable alternative to thermoset rubber in sealing applications. The Sarlink portfolio* has recently expanded to include styrenic TPEs, introducing unique performance characteristics such as improved flow properties for more complex designs. While our competitors focus on one chemistry, at Teknor Apex we offer multiple chemistries under one brand, enabling us to recommend the most suitable solution for your specific application.
