- Hot 1500c oil - no sweat for tpvs
Zeotherm high-performance thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are the first to withstand 3,000 hr at 150{degrees}C in an oil bath without severely degrading. Two initial grades are available, Zeotherm 100-80B and 110-80B. They are based on HyTemp polyacrylate elastomers in a polyamide matrix and have durometers comparable to thermoset rubber compounds - ......
