The Thermoplastic Vulcanizates Market is expected to grow at a CAGR of 6.9% during the forecast period. Thermoplastic Vulcanizates are made up of a polyolefin matrix that is divided into two phases: scattered and continuous. They are made by melting rubber and cross-linking it with a thermoplastic substance at a specified temperature. EPDM rubber (ethylene propylene diene monomer (M-class) rubber) has characteristics similar to these polymers. Lightweight, high strength and cheap processing costs are major trends and elements that are positively influencing the market.
Thermoplastic Vulcanizates are employed in a variety of applications, including automotive, fluid management, consumer products, medical, sports, and others, due to these characteristics. The cross-linked structure created by the chemical binding of polymers distinguishes Thermoplastic Vulcanizates. They are utilized to make things like front-end body panels, belts, hoses, seating, dashboards, airbags, door panels, hoses & seals, brakes & suspensions, instrument & soft-touch panels, and more. Because of their greater heat resistance, flexibility, durability, age resistance, oil, gas, and chemical resistance, and weathering and ozone resistance, these Thermoplastic Vulcanizates outperform typical rubber drives. As a result, the market for Thermoplastic Vulcanizates has risen significantly and is predicted to continue to grow steadily. Thermoplastic Vulcanizates allow designers and manufacturers to create lighter, more compact, and fuel-efficient automobiles, which is beneficial to the industry and has resulted in growth.
