As we all know, thermoplastic elastomer materials have been applied to many parts in the automotive industry, such as instrument panels, bumpers (seals), windscreen wipers, foot mats, rubbing strips and so on, and will continue to develop with the trend of automotive lightweight. However, when applying elastomers, we always find that the scratch resistance is still not as good as we expect.
Often TPE manufacturers may choose to use the right toughening resin, use the right filler or choose the right additives to improve the scratch resistance of TPE materials, etc. TPE manufacturers will choose solutions that will play a certain role, but there may be a variety of shortcomings. Then it may be worthwhile to find new solutions for your TPE.
At SILIKE, we’re pushing the boundaries of Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPE) performance innovative solutions designed to enhance scratch and mar resistance. Here’s how:
Introducing SILIKE Si-TPV Thermoplastic Silicone Elastomers：Si-TPV 2150-35A.
Si-TPV Thermoplastic Silicone Elastomers is a unique modifier for Tpe developed by Silicone. It is a Silicone-Containing Modifiers, which can be used as anti-scratch and abrasion agents in TPE, as well as Feel Modifiers (Thermoplastic Elastomers Feel Modifiers), Surface Modification For Non-Stickiness Tpe Formulations. It can significantly improve the anti-scratch and abrasion resistance of TPE materials by adding the right dosage to the material. This high performance additive can be used in a wide range of TPE modifications for automotive foot mats, dashboards, door panels and more.
When SILIKE Si-TPV 2150-35A is added to thermoplastic elastomers (TPEs), the benefits include:
• Enhanced Scratch and Mar Resistance: Superior durability to withstand wear and tear.
• Improved Stain Resistance: Reduced water contact angle for a cleaner, more polished appearance.
• Reduced Hardness: Achieves a softer touch without compromising material integrity.
• Minimal Impact on Mechanical Properties: Preserves essential performance attributes.
• Exceptional Haptics: Provides a dry, silky touch with no blooming, even after extensive use.
