Thermoplastic Vulcanizate, or TPV for short, Thermoplastic vulcanizate, or Thermoplastic Rubber, or TPR for short, But the name is easily confused with other types of Thermoplastic Elastomer, because thermoplastic elastomer is often called thermoplastic rubber, especially styrene elastomer. At least in China, it seems that "TPR "has become its proper name. When you mention TPR, Is to SBS, SEBS and other styrene elastomers as the base material of thermoplastic elastomers, which is inseparable from the consumption of styrene elastomers in the civil and terminal consumer goods field.

From the performance of thermoplastic vulcanized rubber, it is mainly applied in the following aspects:

1. Seal (building/car seal strip, seal ring)

2.SOFT TOUCH (handle, grip)

3. Anti-impact and shock-proof; Flexibility (casters, cushioning blocks; Wire and cable, hose)

4. Plastic modification, improve the toughness and impact resistance of materials.

From the performance of thermoplastic vulcanized rubber is different from the general thermoplastic elastomer, its application is more inclined to industrial products:

1. In terms of high temperature resistance, the conventional full-vulcanized PP/EPDM can reach 135, and the engineering thermoplastic vulcanized rubber launched by DuPont can resist more than 150;

2. Solvent and oil resistance, TPV because of the cross-linked rubber particle phase, so usually more solvent and oil resistance.
