Automotive Technopolymers: Insulating and Resilient Materials

Technopolymers offer unique mechanical and thermal properties, with varying levels of resistance to wear and to the corrosive effects of chemical agents and environmental exposure. Thanks to their intrinsic characteristics, thermoplastic materials are increasingly used in the automotive sector as a replacement for traditional rubber, particularly in demanding applications such as under-hood environments.

Thermoplastic profiles are produced through thermoplastic or thermoset molding processes, using a variety of polymeric materials. Among the most widely used polymers in the automotive industry are:

  • Styrenic Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPS)
  • Olefinic Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPO)
  • Olefin Block Copolymers (OBC)
  • Thermoplastic Vulcanizates (TPV)
  • Thermoplastic Polyurethanes (TPU)
  • Ether–Ester Thermoplastic Elastomers (TPC)
  • Thermoplastic Polyamides (TPA)
