Description: |
Santoprene thermoplastic rubber is a family of high-performance elastomers which combine the performance characteristics of vulcanized rubber, such as flexibility and low compression set, with the processing ease of thermoplastics. It is the mixture of in-situ cross linking of EPDM rubber and polypropylene. |
|
Performance: |
Withstands transient
temperatures up to 150 Celsius (300F) and continuous temperatures to 135
Celsius (275F) per SAE J2236 (Standard Method for Determining Continuous
Upper Temperature Resistance of Elastomers). |
|
Compound: |
Fully vulcanized EPDM rubber particle in a thermoplastic matrix of Polypropylene (PP). Santoprene™ thermoplastic rubber grades are proprietary products. Their composition is trade secret information of Advanced Elastomer Systems, L.P. These products are not identified by CAS number.

|
Bonding and Decorating: |
Santoprene TPVs™, like other polyolefins (PP, PE) are difficult materials for bonding and decorating. In order for an adhesive to wet Santoprene, it must have a critical surface tension lower than 28 dyne/cm. Most adhesives, tapes and coating have surface tension above this range and do not wet (adhere to) solid Santoprene TPV. For more information view document TL00308 (Exxon Mobil). |
|
Applications: |
Appliance Components, Automotive Applications, Automotive Under the Hood, Consumer Applications, Diaphrams, Electrical Parts, Gaskets, Seals. |
|
Recyclability: |
Santoprene is polyolefin based and completely recyclable. |
