Sarlink® R2 3180B is a multi-purpose thermoplastic vulcanizate (TPV) containing 25% post-industrial recycled (PIR) content. The addition of recycled content helps promote a circular economy while decreasing reliance on virgin fossil-based resources and energy. Sarlink R2 3180B is essentially the functional equivalent of its virgin counterpart in terms of processing and performance. Designed for the automotive, industrial, and building & construction markets, this high-durometer TPV can be used in both injection molding and extrusion applications and can be overmolded or co-extruded with PP or other TPEs.

Sarlink® thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs) are the premier solution for critical applications that require superior elasticity and long-term performance. With faster, more cost-effective processing, Sarlink® TPVs provide a sustainable alternative to thermoset rubber in sealing applications. The Sarlink® portfolio has recently expanded to include styrenic TPEs, which introduces unique performance characteristics like improved flow properties to achieve more complex designs. While our competitors focus on one chemistry, at Teknor Apex we offer multiple chemistries under one brand, which allows us to recommend the solution best suited for your specific application.
