Si-TPV, developed by Chengdu SILIKE Technology Co., Ltd., This Dynamic Vulcanizate Thermoplastic Silicone-based Elastomer is developed using advanced compatibility technology, combining the benefits of both thermoplastics and fully cross-linked silicone rubber, offering the best of both worlds. Si-TPV surpasses standard thermoplastic vulcanized rubber (TPV) and is often termed 'Super TPV.
The SILIKE Si-TPV series Thermoplastic Vulcanizate Elastomers with hardness ranging from Shore A 25 to 90, are designed to be soft to the touch and safe for skin contact. Unlike traditional TPVs, Si-TPV is recyclable and reusable in manufacturing processes, providing expanded options and compatibility with standard thermoplastic processes. such as extrusion, injection molding, soft touch overmolding, or co-molding with various plastic substrates including PP, PE, Polycarbonate, ABS, PC/ABS, Nylons, and similar polar substrates or metals.
The softness and flexibility of the SILIKE Si-TPV series Silicone Elastomers provide exceptional scratch resistance, excellent abrasion resistance, tear resistance, and vibrant colors, making these compounds an ideal choice for a wide range of maternal and baby product applications.
