Durable EPDM/PP for High-Impact Shock Absorption

At Sherwood Industries, we specialize in extruding EPDM/PP blends and adhesive-backed Santoprene TPV sheets and profiles engineered to provide impact protection, surface wear resistance, and vibration dampening. These materials are used in applications where parts are exposed to repeated contact, compression, and impact, and need to hold up over time without breaking down.

Our Materials

Santoprene TPV (EPDM/PP) is applied across a range of environments where durability and consistent performance matter, including:

-sports and fitness equipment contact points

-conveyor and material handling systems

-pallet stops and rack interfaces

-trailer and cargo area protection

-machine contact surfaces and guarding

-automation lines and product stop locations

-structural protection in high-traffic areas

It is used because it handles repeated impact without cracking or permanent deformation, maintains performance under compression, helps reduce noise and vibration, and holds up in high-contact, high-use environments.

Santoprene can be extruded into sheet and supplied with adhesive backing for straightforward application to contact surfaces. Consistency in thickness and material behavior is important for die cutting and converting, where repeatability matters from order to order. Santoprene can also be extruded as profile, with custom made dies made specifically for your application.

The Source

Sherwood Industries is the extrusion source. We make the material and supply directly to die cutters and OEMs, without a middleman. This means clear communication, consistent material, and a process that stays controlled from run to run.

If you’re looking for an extrusion partner that values consistency, accountability, and direct relationships, reach out to Sherwood Industries. We’re always available to talk through your requirements and help determine the right material for your program.
