Air Management

Lower system weight. Santoprene brand TPVs have a distinct density advantage over many competitive materials used in flexible automotive air ducts. With typical specific gravity of 0.97, and with the stiffness required to allow thin wall part designs that resist vacuum collapse, Santoprene brand TPVs allow you to significantly reduce air induction system weight.

Improved system design and reduced complexity. Resonators and other components made from ExxonMobil polypropylene often can be welded directly to Santoprene TPVs, eliminating the need for clamps and providing an exceptional leak-free union.

Excellent processability. Santoprene TPVs can be extrusion blow molded, multi-material blow molded, multi-dimensional blow molded. Santoprene TPVs can also be injection molded, 2-component injection molded, and insert molded with polypropylene, polyamide, and other engineering thermoplastic substrates. This provides an opportunity to eliminate metal fasteners. Contact your ExxonMobil Chemical sales representative for assistance in choosing the right Santoprene TPV for your needs.

Excellent sealing. Santoprene brand TPVs are designed to provide excellent sealing between components in your air management system.

Resists oils and blow by gases. Good resistance to fluids and gases in real world air management systems have made Santoprene brand TPVs the choice for high-performance, lower weight air duct designs in vehicles around the world.
