Enabling the Transition to TPV in NEV Coolant Hoses
What You’ll Learn
What Does It Take to Evaluate TPV for NEV Coolant Hose?
The move from EPDM to TPV is about more than replacing one material with another. NEV architectures, low-conductivity coolants, lightweighting targets and sustainability requirements are changing how engineers evaluate the entire coolant hose system.
1. Why Material Selection Is Changing
See how longer and more complex coolant routing, weight targets, low-conductivity coolants and circularity requirements are changing the performance criteria for thermal-management lines.
2. What the Validation Data Shows
Explore long-term heat-aging and water-glycol exposure results, low-conductivity coolant testing and hose-level aging data—and see how Sarlink® TPV performed in these evaluations.
The webinar includes data after 1,000 hours of heat aging, coolant analysis for conductivity, pH and extractables, and hose-level testing using OEM coolant.
3. How Hose Design Influences Material Selection
Learn why coolant chemistry is only one part of the decision. Hose architecture, wall thickness, reinforcement, pressure requirements, material purity and processing all influence the right TPV solution.
From monolayer designs to reinforced and multilayer constructions, different applications can require different approaches.
4. Where Sustainability and Traceability Fit
See how PCR-content TPVs, product carbon-footprint data and laser marking can support circularity goals without separating sustainability from performance requirements.
The webinar also examines how recycled content influences material properties and laser-marking performance.
