Description

As part of the Thermoplstic elastomer (TPE) family, Santorene™ is a thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) material, developed by ExxonMobil. It is a fully dynamically vulcanized ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber in a thermoplastic matrix of polypropylene (PP). It makes use of the properties of both rubber and PP, resulting in a high performance elastomer that shows a feel and behaviour similar to rubber, manufactured and processed as easily as plastics.
Santorene™ 101 is a soft versatile TPV that is black in colour. It exhibits good physical and chemical properties and can be processed by injection moulding, blow moulding, and extrusion. However, it is incompatible with PVC and acetal. It is shear-dependent, polyolefin-based, and recyclable. Santorene™ also has high ozone resistance and outstanding flex fatigue resistance. It is delivered as granular material. Its key features include:

High strength and flexibility
High chemical and temperature resistance
Outstanding aesthetics
Excellent sealing capacities and durability
Easy processing and design flexibility
High performance and low costs
Reduced weight and recyclability

"Typical" values were obtained via a literature search. "Predicted" values were imputed via artificial intelligence technology. While we have placed significant efforts in ensuring data accuracy, "typical" and "predicted" data should be considered indicative and verified by appropriate material testing. Please do contact us if additional information on the the predicted data method is required.
