In
blends with plasticized PVC, these
polymers become thermoplastic elastomers
(TPEs) for both static and dynamic window gaskets.
They can be easily coextruded on rigid PVC window
profiles for both pivoted and sliding windows.
The Sunigum® based TPEs allow production of white
and light color seals and have the
key benefit of ultra-violet stability.
Black and dark colored weatherseals
can be made from Chemigum® based TPEs.
Key benefits
of Chemigum® or Sunigum® based TPEs
are low compression-set, attractive
appearance, high speed extrusion
of delicate shapes, co-extrudability
with rigid PVC and low plasticizer
migration.
