An Introduction to Thermoplastic Vulcanizates
Thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are essential materials in manufacturing and production industries due to their versatility and adaptability across a wide range of specialty chemical applications. TPVs boast the processing ease of thermoplastics with the flexibility and durability of rubbers. The unique material characteristics of TPV plastics allow for a vast spectrum of mechanical and physical properties, making them useful across a bevy of applications including automotive components, construction materials, electrical insulation, and medical devices[1].
The benefits of thermoplastic vulcanizates comes from their unique crosslinking process, which incorporates a catalyst in the reaction. Stannous chloride serves as a cornerstone catalyst, influencing the structure of the resultant TPV and its properties[2].
Catalysts for Thermoplastic Vulcanizates
REAXIS® C154S PLUS, and REAXIS® C154S are two silica based grades of stannous chloride dihydrate. The REAXIS® C154S PLUS utilizes a special grade of silica that enhances both storage stability and free-flowability.
REAXIS® C154T employs talc in its formulation. The stannous chloride dihydrate and talc blend creates a versatile, high metal content stannous tin. Lastly, REAXIS® C154P is a blend of stannous chloride dihydrate with polypropylene. This blend leads to an enhanced, stable, and free-flowing stannous tin with a high metal content.
