API DN 25/CO TPE

API DN25/CO TPE is a high-performance thermoplastic elastomer sealing solution from API’s CO Series—designed for sanitary process applications requiring FDA-compliant, steam-sterilizable, and low-extraction performance. Its DN25 size ensures precise fit in 1-inch sanitary fittings. Combining chemical resistance, flexibility, and cleanability, it replaces traditional EPDM or silicone seals in biopharma and food-grade systems.

API DN 25/CO TPE – Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

Q1: What is the primary function of API DN 25/CO TPE in polymer formulations?

A: API DN 25/CO TPE functions as a thermoplastic elastomer modifier, enhancing flexibility, impact resistance, and melt processability in polyolefin- and styrenic-based compounds—particularly where soft-touch feel and dynamic mechanical performance are required.


Q2: Is API DN 25/CO TPE compatible with common food-contact or medical-grade polymers?

A: It demonstrates good compatibility with FDA-compliant polypropylene, polyethylene, and certain SEBS-based systems. However, final regulatory compliance depends on the full formulation, processing conditions, and end-use application—users must conduct their own suitability and migration assessments.


Q3: How should API DN 25/CO TPE be processed during compounding?

A: It is typically melt-blended using standard twin-screw extruders at temperatures between 160–210 °C, depending on the base polymer matrix. Pre-drying is generally not required, though storage under low-humidity conditions is recommended to maintain optimal flow characteristics.


Q4: Can API DN 25/CO TPE be used in overmolding applications?

A: Yes—it is widely employed in two-shot and multi-material injection molding processes, especially for soft-touch overmolding onto rigid PP, ABS, or PC substrates, owing to its balanced adhesion, thermal stability, and surface finish consistency.
