IMPROVE VEHICLE
AIR QUALITY WITH
TPEs FOR AUTOMOTIVE
HVAC FLAPS
Vehicle interior air quality in passenger vehicles and strict automotive OEM standards have driven our advancement
of these low VOC, low fogging TPEs for use in heating/ventilation/air conditioning seals.
GLS automotive TPEs are designed to improve driver and passenger safety and comfort.
This industry-leading
TPE technology reduces volatile organic compounds (VOCs) by 50% and fogging by 35% versus existing TPEs
for HVAC applications.

Known for offering tight seals and reducing
vibration and noise, certain thermoplastic elastomers
(TPEs), like OnFlex™ grades, may be better suited
for your particular application than the historically
incumbent materials, like general purpose TPEs,
thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV), and thermoplastic
polyolefins (TPO).

Stat-Tech™ TPE Static Dissipative & Electrically
Conductive Thermoplastic Elastomers
Stat-Tech™ TPEs are electrically conductive
thermoplastic elastomers engineered to protect
critical electronics from electrostatic discharge
(ESD), and electromagnetic and radio frequency
interference (EMI/RFI).
Stat-Tech TPEs can be both injection molded and
extruded, giving great design freedom for more
complex geometries.
Stat-Tech TPEs are well-positioned to perform in
applications such as industrial conveyor belts and
controllers, ADAS systems and electronic devices.

For
example, overmolding a TPE grip onto a hand mixer
can improve comfort.
A few of the options you can add with GLS TPEs:
1.
TPEs can provide
unusual texturing, such as a bubble or ridged
surface or even a leather look.
3.
