RTP Company acquires Zeotherm® TPV Technology from Zeon, expands thermoplastic elastomer businesss

08-Aug-19

Global compounder of custom engineered thermoplastics - RTP Company, has acquired Zeotherm® TPV product line from Zeon Chemicals in a transaction that encompasses all products sold globally under the Zeotherm® TPV name. “This acquisition is just the latest step in our rapidly expanding Thermoplastic Elastomer business,” explains Todd Gummersbach, General Manager – TPEs at RTP Company. “The Zeotherm® TPVs expand our product line, which includes compounds based on SEBS, TPV, TPU, POE, COPE, and COPA, making it one of the broadest TPE product portfolios in the industry.”

Zeotherm®TPV产品是复杂且多样的配方，在70A到40D的持久仪中可用。该材料提供150°C的连续使用性能，同时长期接触机油和润滑剂油脂，这是其他TPE或共聚物无法达到的水平。此外，在过度耗尽的应用中，Zeotherm®TPV与尼龙底物很好地键合。Gummersbach说：“这项TPV技术以及RTP公司的Nylabond®产品为客户提供了一系列基于尼龙的TPV选项，可以定制以适合应用程序的确切要求。”“对于具有在潜在恶劣环境中需要高性能的应用程序的设计工程师而言，诸如高管汽车零件或苛刻的工业应用中，Zeotherm®TPV可以是绝佳的材料选择。”
