Pioneering Sustainable TPV Weather Seals with Celanese

Maillefer and Celanese are collaborating in Switzerland to develop and validate advanced TPV materials and extrusion processes for automotive weather seals. This partnership offers manufacturers a sustainable, high-performance alternative to traditional EPDM rubber, which is often complex to manufacture and challenging to recycle.

Optimized Production for Greener Automotive Seals

The joint initiative focuses on TPV solutions that are simpler to process, easier to recycle, more cost-effective, and significantly lighter for electric vehicles. Producers can validate their designs on a dedicated Maillefer extrusion line in Switzerland, leveraging Maillefer’s multi-layer expertise and Celanese’s material knowledge. The new offering will be launched officially at K 2025.
