Integrated manufacturing of REciclable multi-material COmposites for the TRANSport sector
LOW ENVIRONMENTAL IMPACT FLEXIBLE HOSE, AS WELL AS MANUFACTURING METHOD THEREOF
A thermoplastic elastomer for manufacturing a low environmental impact flexible hose for transporting fluids, in particular liquids, consisting of (A) from 30% by weight to 80% by weight of a polymer matrix consisting of from 10% by weight to 35% by weight with respect to the total weight of the thermoplastic elastomer of a first thermoplastic part (A1) and from 20% by weight to 45% by weight with respect to the total weight of the thermoplastic elastomer of a second elastomeric part (A2); (B) from 30% by weight to 55% by weight of at least one plasticising agent; (C) from 0% to 30% by weight of at least one filler; (D) from 0% to 10% by weight of at least one additive. The thermoplastic elastomer has a Shore A hardness measured according to the UNI EN ISO 868 standard comprised between 50 Sh A and 85 Sh A and a percentage of post-consumer material according to the UNI EN ISO 14021 and UNI EN 15343 standards greater than or equal to 50%. The thermoplastic elastomer is in an amount greater than or equal to 90% by weight on the total weight of the flexible hose.
