Santoprene™ TPV - key benefits
• Enhanced performance
• Durable sealing performance combined with upgraded aesthetics of the
finished part
• Sustainability opportunities
• Through part weight reduction, end-of-life recycling and sustainable
manufacturing
Santoprene TPVs are engineered TPVs that have proven to be the most dependable
polymer of choice for flexible part applications requiring long term performance
11
Santoprene™ TPV - benefits and
attributes
Benefit Attributes
Long term aging durability combined with outstanding dimensional
Durable sealing performance stability and excellent physical properties maintained over the life of the
part
Aspect harmonization between parts, comfort touch interior skins for
Upgraded aesthetics
higher-end customer experience and enhanced surface appearance
Processability on standard thermoplastics processing equipment
Ease of processing resulting in more cost efficient processing and less waste during part
manufacturing
Suitability for co-extrusion with other polymers for tailored and simplified
Design flexibility
multipart system designs
Opportunity to lower part weight through lower density, part design
Weight reduction
optimization and material replacement
Fully recyclable, either as in-process scrap, or end of part life reducing
Recycling
waste, cost and helping to ensure regulatory compliance
Contribution to a more environmentally-friendly production process
Sustainable manufacturing through lower energy consumption during manufacturing, elimination of
chemicals and a smaller manufacturing site footprint

Santoprene™ TPV - lower part cost
• TPVs may have slightly higher price, but using them in place of other
materials often results in system and/or part cost savings
• More efficient use of materials
• Recyclable (scrap reduction)
• Enable simplified product designs (eliminate parts)
• Properly designed mold or die yields low defective parts
• Flash-free
• Suppliers often offer design or Moldflow service
• Good final product performance to reduce consumer or OEM complaints
• Improved flex fatigue
• Improved fluid resistance
• Additional savings achievable through:
• Weight reduction (freight savings)
• Step/labor elimination
