WHAT IS TPO?

Thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO)

WHAT IS TPO?

1

Thermoplastic polyolefins (TPO) are either

a mixture of an olefinic thermoplastic (e.g. PP) and a non-crosslinked elastomer (e.g. EPDM) or
an olefin copolymer with a soft and a hard segment.

The materials form a subgroup of thermoplastic elastomers.

WHAT ARE THE PROPERTIES OF A TPO MATERIAL?

1

TPOs settle in the medium and high Shore A range and are characterized by good chemical resistance to acids, bases and ozone, among other things.

HOW ARE TPO PROCESSED?

1

TPO, like other groups of thermoplastic elastomers, can be processed by injection molding and extrusion.
