Project

Substitution of natural rubber with TPU for NVH application (KIC GREENNVH)

Natural rubber (nonrecyclable CRM) used in vehicles suspension systems for antivibration components requires an alternative solution to improve Noise, Vibration an Harshness (NVH) performance, to fulfil new specification for hybrid and electrical vehicles (HEV and EV). GREENNVH will develop this based on TPU (Thermoplastic Polyurethane) materials.
