This paper will discuss recently developed technology that demonstrates the effectiveness of a thermoplastic polyvinyl chloride/nitrile rubber alloy versus commercially available thermoplastic elastomers and conventionally cured rubbers. Compounding variations, mixing and processing of thermoplastic elastomers such as low temperature properties, compression set, heat resistance, flex properties, and oil and fuel resistance will be examined. Compounding variations of the PVC/NBR allows will be explored to show how recipe changes can affect these important properties.
