The global rubber industry is very much in its infancy with regards to the development of solutions that offer sustainability benefits. Rubber can deliver outstanding performance, but when it comes to delivering sustainability benefits it is often heavier than alternative materials, is more complex to use in manufacturing, and can be more difficult to recycle.
Santoprene® TPV has a legacy of offering sustainability benefits that stretches back over 40 years. It is acknowledged as a highly effective rubber replacement in many elastomeric applications and has replaced carbon intensive and hard-to-recycle thermoset rubber because it offers a more sustainable solution. Now, the recently introduced Santoprene® TPV ECO-R platform is the next logical step to enabling further carbon footprint reductions.
