Reed Rubber Products specializes in the extrusion of TPV’s (thermoplastic vulcanizates)

TPV’s (thermoplastic vulcanizates) have steadily gained popularity in many industrial sectors. While their performance matches or exceeds traditional rubber in many applications, they offer many features that may not be available for parts made out of thermoset rubber. One of the key features to our TPV’s is the ability to be recycled, cutting down on material cost and waste going to land fills. Listed below are a few more features to consider when choosing between traditional rubber and TPV extrusions.
