TPO
Elastomers TPE > TPE-O
What is the TPEo? These are mechanical mixtures (without crosslinking), EPDM rubber and polyolefin plastic, such as PP and / or PE. Additives are usually added to modify properties such as flexibility, moldability and extrusion. These compounds have excellent tenacity, moderate elasticity and good weather resistance. The TPO range can be easily self-colored with the use of suitable masterbatch or provided as pre-colored compounds. Its advantages are its very low densities (around 0.88), constant quality, most popular grades, medium to low price. Its disadvantages are poor recovery properties at moderate and especially high temperatures. |  | |
