Alfater®
Alfater combines as a thermoplastic vulcanized elastomer the best of both worlds: the versatile properties of elastomers and the simple workability of thermoplastics. Our TPV-Portfolio contains several products that help to make blow mold-, extrusion-, and injection mold applications more flexible and more economical.
By the way: Alfater XL is extremely resistant to external influences, yet is still easy to recycle – just like the even more sustainable Alfater XL ECO made from recycled PP. If you chose this alternative, you could achieve a CO2 saving of almost 40 percent without compromising the familiar features of conventional TPV.
