Choosing the Right Seal: A Guide to Weatherstrip Materials (EPDM, TPE, PVC, Silicone)
（二）TPE/TPV: The Advanced and Sustainable Alternative
Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) and their vulcanized counterparts (TPV) are advanced materials that combine the properties of rubber with the processing advantages of plastic.
Eco-Friendly and Recyclable: Unlike EPDM, TPEs can be easily recycled, reducing environmental impact. This aligns with the sustainability goals of modern automotive and construction industries.
Design Flexibility: TPEs can be produced in a wide range of colors and hardness levels, allowing for more aesthetic integration.
Lightweight: They can contribute to weight reduction, a critical factor in automotive design for improved fuel efficiency.
Considerations: While high-performance TPVs match or exceed EPDM in many areas, general-purpose TPEs may have lower heat and chemical resistance. TPV is often the preferred material for specifications requiring enhanced durability.
Ideal for: Automotive interior seals, eco-conscious building projects, and applications where specific color matching or recyclability is a priority.
