Dryflex TPV Thermoplastic Vulcanisate compounds are high performance materials designed for demanding applications where improved durability, heat or fluid resistance are required. Our aim is to supply a material that precisely matches application requirements. We are constantly testing new polymers, additives, stabilisers and other ingredients to create unique material combinations. We have engineered several Dryflex TPV series to suit different applications, with properties including flow characteristics, hardness, specific gravity, strength resistance and colour.
DRYFLEX TPV KEY PROPERTIES
- A wide range of hardness’

TPV compounds are used extensively in a wide variety of market segments, including:
- Automotive interior, exterior and under-bonnet
- Electronics and appliances
- White goods
- Consumer goods
- Building and construction
The Dryflex XL 100 series is designed for long or complex flow paths, which require a material with excellent flow properties. They can also be used for general moulding and are available as non-filled grades where easy colourability is required. The Dryflex XL 100 series also displays excellent bonding to polypropylene, EPDM and other olefinic polymers.
