Teknor Apex replaces standard PA66 GF (Glass Filled) materials with PP GF resulting in several processing advantages for an AdBlue Tank Cover.

Teknor Apex Germany has developed a family of glass-filled engineering polypropylene with E-modules that reach 11,000 MPa and a HDT that reaches 160°C. The purpose of this development was to replace glass filled PA66 and PA6 with modified glass filled PP, in an effort to offer customers alternative solutions that have similar properties to but are more economical than glass filled PA. 

Sarlink® thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are the premier choice for critical applications that require superior elasticity and long-term performance, like extruded seals and hoses or molded gaskets.

Sarlink TPVs have steadily been replacing thermoset rubber, like EPDM, in sealing applications due to improvements in processing, design, and weight reduction. In addition, unlike EPDM rubber, Sarlink TPVs are recyclable, both in-process or at the end of the product’s life cycle.

Flexalloy^® PVC Elastomers from Teknor Apex are Abrasion-, Chemical- and Oil Resistance Thermoplastic Compounds with Excellent Low Temperature Flexibility for Wire and Cable Applications

Teknor Apex has developed Flexalloy^® PVC elastomers for a variety of insulation and jackets in applications from electric vehicle charging stations to industrial automation to portable power cables and numerous others.

Now, more than ever, that peace of mind includes being environmentally responsible. Teknor Apex is pleased to introduce a new series of TPEs, the Monprene® RX CP-15100 series, containing 25 to 35% recycled content; a significant added value that helps brands achieve their sustainability goals.

Plastic tubing made with Teknor Apex compounds replaces traditional steel for more sustainable energy capture.

As companies all over the globe are working hard to make the process of extracting oil and gas cleaner, a California-based Teknor Apex partner, Hyperlight Energy, has developed an innovative concentrated solar power (CSP) system to sustainably and affordably decarbonize oil recovery. CSP projects usually look like massive fields of mirrors with one tall tower in the middle. This new, unique American-made renewable energy technology is quite different and was just featured in Advancements hosted by Ted Danson, which aired on CNBC, December 18, 2021.

Teknor Apex has announced the acquisition of Lanier Color Company, located in Gainesville, GA, USA. Lanier Color Company is a leading supplier of color concentrates and specialty compounds for the thermoplastics industry with a focus in the building and construction market.

Greatly enhances technical capabilities in support of development projects.
