Santoprene TPV B100 is designed for excellent adhesion to acrylonitrile butadiene styrene (ABS), polycarbonate (PC), polystyrene (PS), acrylic (PMMA), acrylonitrile styrene acrylate (ASA), polyethylene terephthalate (PET) and polyphenylene oxide (PPO)/PS blends using cold insert, two-shot injection or extrusion molding. "There has been great interest expressed by our customers from around the world for a food contact compliant grade," said Seth Barron, Santoprene products global strategic market manager, consumer. "We have now completed the process so the product is FDA compliant. Santoprene TPV B100 is well suited for food contact applications where designers, processors and OEMs are looking to produce hard/soft material combinations without the need for adhesives."
