Neoplast™ TPV Compound

is a dynamically vulcanized PP/EPDM material, combining the characteristics of vulcanized rubber with processability like thermoplastics.

Fully cured EPDM particles are finely dispersed in a polyolefin matrix, enabling the material to combine the characteristics of vulcanized rubber with processing ease of thermoplastics. The material is designed for ease of use across different plastic processes, while being 100% recyclable.

Neoplast™ offers balanced mechanical properties of low compression set and resiliency, high flexibility, flex fatigue behaviour, tear resistance, and tensile strength along with good weather resistance, all of which allows excellent design flexibility and freedom to reduce weight and total system costs compared to thermoset rubbers.

Neoplast™ range of grades are designed to bond with other polyolefin compounds during co-injection and co-extrusion, allowing designers to assimilate multi-component parts into a single component, while lower density reduces part weight and recyclability ensures zero wastage – all contributing towards reduced system costs, reduction in part processing as well as lowering carbon footprint.

Neoplast™ TPV are strong, flexible materials providing excellent sealing, aesthetics, long term performance compared to thermoset rubbers and PVCs.
