Abstract
Water-Blown thermoplastic elastomers rubber phase (TPV) embedded in a
polypropylene matrix can replace foam rubber of ethylene propylene die
ne rubber (EPDM) in seals. As a thermoplastic with good mechanical qua
lities together, good ageing, oil and heat resistance, its low weight,
ease of pigmenting and recyclability, furthermore, are unlocking inno
vative applications for these foams.
