Sven-M Druwen, European sales coordinator for Hexpol TPE explained: „Our partnership with Akro-Plastic is the response to a market demand for special material combinations from PA and TPE. The PA and TPE combination started with a 75 Shore A TPE grade and will be complimented in a new series with various shore hardness‘s. The target is to provide an approved material system which is tested according with the new VDI guideline 2019 which is a new standard for testing adhesion of TPE on injected moulded substrates. This will provide confidence for these kinds of material combinations which can for example be used in automotive air and water management systems, where the TPE provides the necessary sealing, acoustic and bridging properties, while always keeping to the lightweight goal.“

The TPE, which is part of the Dryflex A family of compounds, has been developed to deliver optimal adhesion to the Akromid Lite and Akromid XtraLite modified PA compounds in multi-component applications. It has a specific gravity of less than 1 g/cm3.

Akro-Plastic developed Akromid Lite and Akromid XtraLite to offer a range of technical polyamide compounds with a lower density while maintaining the typical properties of polyamide. The modified PA provides several benefits on chemical resistance having the same or better mechanical properties as standard PA6 or PA 6.6.
