Vulcanized Olefinics (TPV / TPE-V)

Based on 1275 products - Last update on the Feb 16, 2026

Vulcanized olefinic thermoplastic elastomer appears as opaque, flexible pellets or granules typically in natural or black color with a rubber-like feel. Key features include excellent elastic recovery, good compression set resistance, high UV and ozone resistance, broad temperature performance range, and the ability to be reprocessed. Vulcanized olefinic TPEs are primarily used in automotive seals and weatherstripping, consumer goods, wire and cable insulation, and industrial components. <

Alternatives include styrenic block copolymers (TPE-S), thermoplastic polyurethanes (TPU), and copolyester elastomers (COPE). The market trend shows increasing adoption in automotive applications as manufacturers seek weight reduction and recyclability benefits. Sub-types include variations with different elastomer content, oil-extended grades, flame-retardant formulations, and specialty grades for UV stability or paintability.

Elexar® EL-8431

by Teknor Apex

Elexar® EL-8431 by Teknor Apex is a general purpose, easily colored & printed, PVC-, halogen- and phthalate ester- free themoplastic elastomer (TPE) grade with low flow. Offers superior electrical properties coupled with excellent flexibility, elasticity, toughness and surface aesthetics & good abrasion, tear, and tensile properties. Exhibits high elongation, high tensile strength and low temperature flexibility. It combines excellent low temperature properties with very good thermal stability and shows good sunlight-, weather-, UV- & ozone- resistance. It does not require pre-drying, is fully recyclable and reprocessable, whether from process scrap or post-consumer waste. Suitable for processing by extrusion and injection molding. Desired applications include appliance wire insulation, appliance wire jacketing, cable jacketing, connectors, flexible cord jacketing, industrial cable insulation, terminal cable jacketing, underground power cable, wire & cable applications and wire jacketing. Used in cords, battery cables & robotic cables, grommets and boots. Also used gas tube and oil burner cable (UL-814) and deep-well submersible pump cable (UL-83). Elexar® EL-8431 by Teknor Apex complies with UL94, UL 1581 & RoHS and automotive specifications such as FORD ESB-M2D296-A.
