Alcatel-Lucent recently said that the company combines Keltan Eco EPDM with green fillers, plasticizers and thermoplastics to make this thermoplastic vulcanizate up to 90% sustainable.
The company uses ethylene as the raw material to produce the world's first EPDM – 'Keltan Eco'. The ratio of its materials is 50% to 70%. In the evaluation of alternative traditional polyolefin thermoplastics, plasticizers and (reinforcing) After the potential of the sustainable solution of the filler, Alang Shinco developed a thermoplastic vulcanizate and thermoset rubber based on Keltan Eco EPDM, with the aim of maximizing the sustainable content without compromising the technical performance.
The technical performance of the new EPDM compound is comparable to that of the standard EPDM compound and can be used in automotive dynamic and static sealing applications. In the recent 2018 World Cup, the material was used directly as a sponge rubber layer beneath the artificial turf.
