TPE Knowledge Base
All conventional gating types are suitable for processing GLS elastomers.
For automatically degating tools, the highly elastic nature of softer TPEs makes gate design such as submarine gates or three plate tools with self-degating drops more difficult.

GLS™ TPE
AUTOMOTIVE SOLUTIONS
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.
