AUTOMOTIVE CERTIFIED MATERIALS

Many automotive manufacturers have requirements in place for plastics that are used in automotive components. These requirements are for interior, exterior and mechanical parts. General Motors, Ford and Stellantis Chrysler are just some of the automotive manufacturers that have their own requirements in place.
 

AUTOMOTIVE CERTIFIED SANTOPRENE TPV

Ford, GM and Chrysler vehiclesOne of the materials that Sherwood Industries Inc. extrudes is made with Santoprene™ Thermoplastic Vulcanizate (TPV) from Celanese. Santoprene TPV is a blend of polypropylene and EPDM rubber meaning it behaves like a rubber but processes like a thermoplastic. This material is a high performance elastomer that provides consistent performance and chemical resistance. There are a variety of Santoprene TPV grades that comply with the requirements from General Motors, Ford, VW Group, Hyundai, Stellantis Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz Group and Fiat.
 
Santoprene TPV possesses some of the best flex-fatigue resistance in the Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) family. It also has a very low compression set, which means Santoprene withstands pressure well and it will resist permanent deformation. It is common that Tier 1 manufacturers have weight guidelines for each part, Santoprene TPV can reduce weight up to 30% compared to its EPDM rubber counterparts. Santoprene TPV is also produced at a lower cost than thermoset rubber.
 

SHERWOOD’S CAPABILITIES

We can extrude sheet from 0.020” to 0.250” (0.6 mm to 6.3mm) thick. We offer widths between 6” to 36”. Our extruded sheet can be wound onto 3″ or 6″ PVC cores. Our machinery allows for flexibility on the amount of linear feet wound on each roll or a certain weight limit per roll.  With four patterns and color matching capabilities, we can provide you with a customized product for your application. We can accommodate orders ranging from 500 pounds to truckloads, shipped worldwide.

We also offer profile extrusion to provide shapes and configurations to match your products’ exact requirements for your unique application. We make custom dies to extrude a shape that fits your requirements and will assure a consistent and reliable part over years of extrusion. Profile parts can be cut to length or wound into a roll.

AUTOMOTIVE CERTIFIED SPEC SHEETS

Every grade of Santoprene™ TPV has a spec sheet detailing its specifications and properties. For your convenience, we have separeted the spec sheets by grades that comply with the certifications required by General Motors, Ford, VW Group, Hyundai, Stellantis Chrysler, Mercedes-Benz Group and Fiat.
