What is TPV?
“TPV” stands for Thermoplastic Vulcanizate. TPV is a type of thermoplastic elastomer (TPE) that is produced by blending a thermoplastic material with a crosslinked rubber material, typically EPDM (ethylene propylene diene monomer) rubber. This combination of materials results in a material with properties that combine the characteristics of both plastics and rubber.
