Flexibility Meeting Resilience

TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) is a composite material blending rubber and thermoplastic elements. It incorporates the flexibility and resilience of traditional rubber with the processability of thermoplastics. It is a versatile, high-performance material that can offer a compelling, lower cost alternative to rubber.

Due to the unique combination of its properties, TPV has been adopted in a wide array of industries in highly diverse applications, including, but not limited to:

  • Bumpers
  • Channels
  • Gaskets & Seals
  • Strips, Edge Trims
  • Tubing
  • Weatherstripping
TPV Extrusions in Grey, Black and White
