Engineering ThermoPlastic Vulcanizates (ETPV)

Engineering thermoplastic vulcanizates (ETPV) are a unique combination of the properties of plastics and elastomers. Combining the outstanding characteristics of both categories, these materials are used in a wide range of applications in various industries.

ETPVs are thermoplastics that undergo a process similar to rubber vulcanization, which allows them to have elastomeric properties such as elasticity and flexibility, along with the processing capabilities of thermoplastics, such as heat-reformability.

ETPV Applications

Automotive industry: Production of parts such as hoses, gaskets, insulation, and wire sheathing.
Consumer goods industry: Production of parts such as shoes, toys, and sports parts.
Medical industry: Production of parts such as medical tubing, gaskets, and medical device parts.
Electronic industry: Production of insulators and electronic parts.
