Resistance to Aggressive Fluids: Discover the advantage of Zeotherm TPVs

Hot fluid resistance - elongation at break retention

Resists automotive fluids including engine oil, transmission fluid (ATF), coolant, fuel and grease
Provides superior oil resistance over silicone rubber
Resists aggressive greases used in steering, axle and driveshaft joints
Won't dry out greases and lubes like conventional TPEs and copolyesters can
Maintains fluid resistance over a wide temperature range (-40° C to 175° C)

Zeotherm TPVs are far superior to conventional TPEs and copolyesters in applications that require exposure to automotive fluids. In fact, Zeotherm is able to resist the most aggressive automotive fluids - including engine oil, transmission fluid and lubricating greases – for the life of the vehicle, even when those fluids are hot. Tests shows Zeotherm TPV components far outperform components made of silicone rubber and copolyester when exposed to oils and lubes at 150°C/300°F.

Zeotherm TPVs are even suitable for many applications with occasional (or "splash") contact with coolants or fuel.

For the most stringent applications, use Zeotherm in components such as:

Automotive boots (CVJ, steering, drivelines/propeller shaft)
Transmission components
Shaft seals
Air intake ducts
Fuel/emission control tubes

An excellent choice for a wide range of components, Zeotherm provides better fluid and heat resistance than any other commercially available thermoplastic elastomer.
