Extra-High-Performance TPVs

TPVs have been developed that are more resistant to high temperatures, hot oils, oxidation fatigue, and so on. There is little open, published work on these materials. Some of these materials were discussed by Babu and Naskar (2011). This new TPV technology is expected to bridge the gap between PP/EPDM TPVs and the more costly engineering TPVs. Examples of commercialized extra-high-performance TPVs are given in Table 7.8.
