On Thursday, we’ll be tuning in for the Improve Performance and Sustainability of Automotive Weather Seals webinar hosted by our partner Celanese. The construction of dynamic and semi-dynamic weather seals — though essential — contributes significantly to the weight and, consequently, the carbon footprint of vehicles. During this webinar, Celanese will discuss the reasons many OEMs are shifting from thermoset EPDM to thermoplastic vulcanizates such as Santoprene® TPV to improve the sustainability of automotive parts.
