Enflex-V® is the brand name for dynamically vulcanized ethylene/propylene/diene (EPDM) and Polypropylene (PP) blends. Fully cured EPDM particles that are homogenously distributed in the thermoplastic polypropylene phase give these compounds unique rubber-like properties, with the advantage of thermoplastic processing techniques. Enflex-V® range can be self-colored with the use of proper Masterbatch or provided as pre-colored compounds.
General properties:
- Hardness range from 45 Shore A to 60 Shore D
- Service temperature: -50°C -+ 125°C (dynamic) -50-+135°C (Static/Peak)
- Excellent Ozone, UV and weather resistance due to saturated elastomeric phase
- Chemical resistance to aggressive mediums
- Very low (rubberlike) compression set and good elasticity (that does not change significantly over time) in a wide temperature range
Special Enflex-V® series properties:
- Adhesion to a broad range of polar and non-polar substrates such as PP, PA, ABS, PC
- Halogen free FR, improved oil resistance, improved temperature resistance, high flow and other specialty grades
- Recyclability and lower processing costs with respect to traditional cured rubbers
- Lower density
- Very good resistance to fatigue and tear strength
- Low fogging
- Flammability (UL 94 V0)
- CSTB, RAL GZ-716/1 approvals
