# What is TPO? 

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 is TPO?

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.
