Heat Shield Elimination: Discover the advantage of Zeotherm TPVs

• 175°C heat resistance allows for parts engineered to survive
  prolonged heat exposure — without costly heat shields
• Avoid expensive assembly line labor costs to install heat shields
• Save the weight and space of heat shields

Zeotherm TPVs provide superior long-term heat resistance — well above what conventional TPEs and copolyester provide. The 175°C heat resistance of Zeotherm TPVs allow you to avoid/minimize heat shielding components and surviving increasingly hot environments. The result — an engineered vs. bandaged solution.

Zeotherm TPVs free you of the burden and cost of designing, procuring, and installing heat shields — while maintaining part performance under hot temperatures. Additionally, you save on overall weight and space by avoiding heat shields.

For parts that are currently made of thermoset rubber — such as silicone, ethylene acrylic (AEM) — or rubber + metal constructions because of high heat concerns, Zeotherm TPVs can lead to substantial reduction in part cost due to Zeotherm's fast thermoplastic processability and recyclability.

Zeotherm is an excellent choice for eliminating heat shields and avoiding expensive rubber + metal parts
in applications including:

• Air intake ducts (cuffs)
• Steering system components
• Fasteners / clips
• Automotive boots (CVJ, rack and pinion, propeller shaft)
• Dust seals / dust boots
• Motor housings
