This grade features high flexural fatigue endurance, heat resistance, impact strength, 250 pounds of tensile strength and good abrasion strength. Sarlink combines the performance characteristics of thermoset rubber, with the ease of plastic processing. Sarlink is a thermoplastic vulcanisate based on dynamically vulcanized ethylene propylene diene monomer (EPDM) rubber particles dispersed in a polypropylene (PP) matrix. Sarlink TPVs are also used in various other applications, such as wires and cables, pipe seals and under the hood.

Now chain criminals with thermoplastic vulcanized hand cuffs!
To ease up the process of maintaining law and order, law-enforcement agencies can now use ‘Cobra cuffs’ while doing mass arrests or controlling the crowd on a large scale. Milspec, an Asheville NC-based thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPV) manufacturer has introduced these police cuffs, that are made of Sarlink 3100 with 45 shore D grade. Because this TPV shows neutral colorability, Cobra cuffs can be made available in various colors choices of: black, orange, yellow, red, pink, and blue. This also makes color coding possible, thus enhancing safety and processing detainees according to criminal charges.
