How Additives Improve TPV Properties?
When Custom TPV parts, TPV (Thermoplastic Vulcanizate) inherently offers great flexibility and durability. To further enhance its performance for specific applications, various additives are incorporated.
- Heat Stabilizers: Increase thermal stability during processing and use.
- UV Stabilizers: Protect against degradation from sunlight exposure.
- Flame Retardants: Enhance fire resistance for safety-critical parts.
- Plasticizers: Improve flexibility and softness.
- Antioxidants: Prevent oxidation, extending material lifespan.
- Fillers: Modify mechanical strength and reduce cost.
