This paper presents comparisons between three primary process methods for the production of short air ducts for the automotive air induction market with a focus on thermoplastic vulcanizates (TPVs). Cost comparisons between rubber injection molding, extrusion blow molding and thermoplastic injection molding are presented. Injection molded short air ducts using TPVs offer recyclability and a lower air duct weight when compared to a thermoset rubber (TSR) air duct. Additionally, TPV injection molded short air ducts offer a lower cost alternative to blow molding by allowing simplified part consolidation and reduced finishing cost, Part design and process recommendations for injection molded TPV short air ducts are discussed.
