Q

How are Santoprene brand TPVs different from thermoset rubbers?


A

Santoprene brand TPVs can be processed on thermoplastic extruders. Thermoset rubbers typically have to go through some sort of curing process. Because Santoprene brand TPVs have a plastic phase and because the size of the rubber particles in the material is small it can be recycled and reprocessed.
