Teknor Apex Company's thermoplastic elastomer is speciallyformulated for bumper extensions or "spoiler lips," which are injection moldedcomponents that automotive manufacturers increasingly deploy to improve fueleconomy. Installed underneath bumpers or along both sides, the extensions notonly help lower the drag coefficient of the car and reduce wind noise duringtravel but also protect the bumpers from damage encountered when the car isparked near high pedestrian walkways or parking lot curbs. Sarlink K-156elastomer provides the balance of stiffness and elasticity required towithstand the punishment of scraping against these structures. The highresistance exhibited by Sarlink K-156 upon prolonged exposure to water spray,road salt, UV and temperatures is as low as -40C.
