Product Description
EPIGUM OR/87 is a halogen-free thermoplastic elastomer (TPV) study for application at high temperature also in contact with oil.
EPIGUM OR/87 is a high performance thermoplastic vulcanised (TPV) designed to survive long-term exposure to hot oil. Ideal for automotive and electrical applications where there is exposure to heat and/or oil.
It has excellent resistance to many mineral and synthetic motor oils, transmission fluids, and greases.
It is suitable in bondable to polyamides via overmoulding (insert and 2-shot).
Readily recycled both in process and post consumer.
