HVAC doors are typically produced by injection molding two parts that provide structural strength and air sealing performance.
This meant the raw materials and processing method needed to be reconsidered.
In addition, the new material also provides anti-static properties and low VOC levels, which helps the system adhere to regulations such as the Vehicle Interior Air Quality (VIAQ) standard.

No matter how many times you expose TPEs to sufficient heat they will become soft and re-harden when cool.
Though the viscosity of TPEs are reduced when processed at high shear rates, TPEs must be “packed” into a mold to ensure complete fill-out.
TPEs offer excellent barrier properties against both air and moisture.
