As industry and consumers increasingly drive demand for more sustainable solutions, high performance materials like Santoprene® TPV is well positioned to make a significant contribution.
There are two Santoprene® TPV grades (ECO-R) that incorporate post-consumer recyclate (PCR), building on a 40-year legacy of enabling customers to create sustainable solutions for the value chain. Now, with the introduction of Santoprene® TPV ECO-R grades, the potential for even more sustainable benefits is enhanced.
Santoprene® TPV ECO-R grades:
- Contain 15-25% PCR, while maintaining quality and lot-to-lot consistency
- Can reduce the carbon footprint of a finished part by up to 59%, compared to a similar part made from EPDM rubber
- Are processed like a thermoplastic making them easier to recycle than thermoset rubber
