TPV product based on cross-linked silicone rubber dispersed into various engineering thermoplastics. The dispersion of the silicone internal phase is produced by dynamic “vulcanization” or cross-linking of silicone polymers within the thermoplastic organic phase and results in a stable droplet type morphology as shown in the TEM micrograph. TPSiV™ combines the elastomeric performance of silicone rubber with the melt re-processability and thermal and chemical resistance of engineering thermoplastics.Thermoplastic polyurethane based TPSiV™ (3010, 3011, 3111, 3040, 3340 grades) combine the benefits of excellent abrasion resistance from the polyurethane as well as the lower coefficient of friction and improved temperature properties from the silicone rubber. PSiV™ 3010-50A / 60A: Designed to have a low compression set and tension set as well as excellent dielectric strength. Recommended for injection molding applications and bonds to PC, ABS, PU, and PVC. The 60A product is plasticizer free.Information provided by Multibase.
