High-Heat, Oil-Resistant TPE/TPV for Automotive & Industry
TPE with durable resistance to oil and heat up to 150 °C for diverse and demanding markets such as the automotive sector, mechanical engineering and plant technology.
KRAIBURG TPE offers oil-resistant thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) in the family of thermoplastic elastomers (TPE) that also performs well under high temperatures.
TPV resistant to oil
The portfolio solutions HIPEX® offer you a wide range of modification possibilities in TPE to replace rubber. The TPVs are available in black and natural colours, whereby the natural-coloured variants can be coloured in a variety of ways as desired.
Your advantages
No vulcanization necessary, resulting in shorter cycle times
Multi-component injection molding with adhesion to PA, PBT or PP
Lighter: lower density
No post-processing needed: no annealing or deburring necessary
Key Features and Material Properties
Tried and tested in many applications: in the engine and transmission in permanent contact with oil and heat
Temperature resistant up to 150 °C - in continuous use
Hardness range 55 to 80 Shore A
Long-term resistance to engine oils and greases
Recyclable
Very good sealing properties
Various colorings available directly from the factory
Multi-component injection molding with adhesion modifications to PA, PBT or PP
Technical Information
Oil-resistant TPE with thermal stability often leads to weight savings compared to rubber applications. In-process recycling as well as the possibility of end-of-life recycling is also possible.
Readily available solutions range from 55 to 80 Shore A (according to EN ISO 18064: TPV-(EVM+TPC), TPV-(EVM+PP) and cover formulation-dependent temperatures from 120 °C to 150 °C.
Engineers and technicians who demand high resistance to oils, lubricants and coolants rely on the quality product HIPEX®.
