OUR RANGE OF PRODUCTS
| Farrprene grades | Typical automotive parts | Key property targets for that part | Why the grade meets them |
|---|---|---|---|
| 20 A | Steering-column grommets, seat comfort pads, anti-squeak inserts | • Ultra-soft feel & high damping (≤ 25 Shore A) • ≥ 600 % elongation to resist tearing • Low density for weight saving | 20 A hardness, > 800 % elongation and ≈ 0.88 g cm-³ specific gravity deliver maximum compliance and energy absorption; very-soft TPEs in this range are the industry norm for NVH cushions and comfort foams. |
| 45A grades IU45A IF45A | Thumb wheels, HVAC-flap edge dampers, cable boots | • Mid-soft 40–50 A for vibration isolation • Good fatigue life • Over-mouldability to PP/ABS | 45 A hardness with > 800 % strain and a moderate melt flow (≈ 2.5–4.5 g / 10 min) suits injection over-moulding; the same hardness window is widely specified for interior damping clips and flexible boots. |
| 65A grades for injection IU65A IU65A2 IF65A IF65A2 | Door-switch bezels, cup-holder mats, interior grips | • Soft-touch 55–65 A • Low VOC / fogging • Reliable adhesion to PP/ABS | 65 A hardness, > 800 % stretch and low density (0.88–1.06 g cm-³) give a pleasant touch while meeting interior emission targets; SEBS chemistry bonds directly to PP and ABS in two-shot moulding. |
| 65A grades for extrusion EF650 EF651 EF652 | Door & window weather-strips, glass-run channels | • 60–70 A hardness for sealing force • Very low melt flow (≤ 0.8 g / 10 min) for profile stability • Good tear & ozone resistance | These grades supply 65 A hardness with melt-flow as low as 0.08 g / 10 min, ensuring dimensionally precise extruded profiles; the durometer and tear performance align with standard automotive TPE weather-strip products. |
| 70A for extrusion EF700 | Belt-line seals, cowl gaskets, exterior sill seals | • Stiffer 70 A for compression-set control • Ultra-low flow (~0.01 g / 10 min) for thick or co-extruded profiles | EF700 offers 70 A hardness alongside extremely low melt flow, maintaining shape in complex multi-durometer seals where dimensional accuracy and long-term sealing force are critical. |
| 85A grades IF85A EF85A | Air-bag covers, brake/accelerator pedal pads, step pads & anti-slip mats | • High hardness 80–90 A for abrasion resistance • Tear strength ≥ 20 kN m-¹ • Heat & UV stability • Bonding to PP for two-shot parts | Farrprene 85 A grades combine > 800 % elongation with tensile strength up to 12 MPa (injection grade) and high tear resistance (extrusion grade), suiting demanding safety parts such as air-bag doors, pedal trims and exterior step pads. |
