An Eco-Conscious Commitment
Our commitment to environmental responsibility drives us to create vehicle solutions that are as sustainable as they are safe. TereSorb is made from 100% recycled plastic bottles, resulting in 50% less CO2 emissions during the manufacturing process. Utilizing this material allows manufacturers to conserve resources and reduce plastic waste. By doing so, they can achieve their sustainability goals without sacrificing safety or performance.
100% Recycled Post-Consumer Plastic Bottles
By sourcing the foam’s raw-material from recycled PET, choosing TereSorb reduces the environmental impact of your products by mitigating landfill waste and lowering carbon emissions by 37% when compared to foam produced from virgin PET
Supporting a Circular Economy
Teresorb contributes to a circular economy by reducing landfill waste and lowering carbon footprints, which works toward a sustainable future for automotive supply chains.
No CFCs & HFCs
Removing environmentally harmful chemicals from production reduces environmental pollution, promotes sustainable practices and enhances environmental performance.
TereSorb Recycling and Manufacturing Journey
- Recycling companies collect post-consumer PET bottles
- Materials manufacturer develops PET chips into TereSorb foam
- TereSorb is developed into energy management solutions
- 100% of unused foam from manufacturing is sent to recycling partners
- Recycling partners turn recycled material into new products
Setting a Higher Bar for Passenger Safety
TereSorb is a closed-cell, highly engineered foam with exceptional consistency, offering excellent energy absorption and cellular properties that meet the highest automotive safety standards.
Zero Fogging and Low VOCs: TereSorb has zero fogging and low off-gassing of VOCs, reducing the amount of potentially harmful chemicals present in vehicles coming off the line. Additionally, TereSorb’s material properties make it suitable for new and exciting attachment methods in many applications, reducing the use of adhesives known for VOC emissions.
Energy Absorption with Higher Compressive Strengths: TereSorb complements the IMPAXX product line by offering higher compressive strengths, making it the ideal solution for applications where higher loads or tight packaging spaces are critical. The two products provide a comprehensive suite of solutions for modern automotive safety challenges.
Tailored to Your Application
Available in four distinct grades—TereSorb 550, 900, 1050, and 1800—this lightweight, extruded PET foam offers a range of compressive strengths allowing for flexibility to meet any packaging challenges when protecting passengers in vehicles. Manufacturers looking to innovate sustainability choose TereSorb for its waste-saving production process and incredible ability to transform 100% recycled water bottles into high-performance products that maintain efficiency and safety.
TereSorb™ is an environmentally friendly option ideal for:
Steering Columns and Instrument Panels
EV Battery Module Protection
Side Impact Protection
Headrest Protection
Headliner Impact Safety
Complementing the Capabilities of IMPAXX
Both TereSorb and IMPAXX use no-tooling manufacturing techniques, enhancing sustainability strategies by significantly conserving resources and reducing plastic waste. TereSorb’s range of material grades complements IMPAXX’s versatility, offering the unique ability to tailor the material’s design to meet specific application requirements.
