Thermoplastic vulcanizate.


Zeotherm TPVs are said to have proven ideally suited to meet the challenges of 2007 clean air intake ducts, without having to resort to heat shields or rubber components. Zeotherm TPVs are high-temperature thermoplastic elastomers Thermoplastic elastomers (TPE), sometimes referred to as thermoplastic rubbers, are a class of copolymers or a physical mix of polymers (usually a plastic and a rubber) which consist of materials with both thermoplastic and elastomeric properties.  said to combine the flexibility of thermoset A polymer-based liquid or powder that becomes solid when heated, placed under pressure, treated with a chemical or via radiation. The curing process creates a chemical bond that, unlike a thermoplastic, prevents the material from being remelted. See thermoplastic.  rubber with the cost-effective cost-effective,
