More Solutions for Automotive Exterior Applications

KRAIBURG TPE will present its EPDM – Adhesion series. This series is targeted towards automotive exterior components as a material solution for applications requiring high UV and weather resistance and optimal adhesion to rubber. With the AD/EPDM/UV series, customers benefit from low processing temperatures that guarantee short cycle times and do not interfere with the flock coating process. Further advantages include long-term process stability and ideal initial adhesion, which is needed for the ejection of parts. When exposed to heat or UV radiation, the EPDM – Adhesion series compounds do not exhibit any oil bleed-out or stickiness, and provide impressive color stability. Typical applications include corner molding, doorsills, glass run channels and window encapsulations.
