Sarlink® TPV

Sarlink TPVs are used extensively in sealing applications, and for lower cost, lighter weight seals, TPVs can be foamed. The Sarlink 8100 Series of TPVs are specifically formulated with optimized rheological properties for foaming. Available from 45 to 68 Shore A, these grades can be be co-extruded with other TPVs, TPOs, or PP. The Sarlink 8100 Series of TPV s offer long term sealabiltiy, low-temperature flexibility, and can be heat welded. Using either physical or chemical blowing agents, achieve up to 40% weight reduction for extruded profiles, seals and gaskets for doors and windows, drum seals, and HVAC applications.

These high-performance TPVs are fully cross-linked, exhibiting low tension and compression set and superior resistance to flex-fatigue. The Sarlink 4100 series is available from 45 Shore A to 50 Shore D (in black and natural), is resistant to abrasion and chemicals, and can be processed by injection molding, blow molding, and extrusion.

The lighter, natural color of the Sarlink 6100 Series allows for superior colorability versus other TPVs. These products exhibit excellent flow behavior for molding large complex parts and are non-hygroscopic, so pre-drying is unnecessary. The Sarlink 6100 series is available from 35 to 90 Shore A (in natural only), is resistant to hydrocarbons and aqueous liquids, and exhibits good thermal stability and low fogging properties.

By incorporating up to 40% post-industrial recyclate (PIR), depending on hardness, the Sarlink RX 3100B Series promotes a circular economy and reduces reliance on virgin fossil-based resources and energy. Made with carefully-selected post-industrial recyclate (PIR), these materials process and perform similarly to their virgin counterparts, and can be used in injection molding or extrusion applications, or can be co-molded or co-extruded with polypropylene or other thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs).
