What is Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO)?

Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is the compound comprises polypropylene (PP) as hard segments and EPDM as soft segments. Compared with other TPEs families, TPO (thermoplastic polyolefin) has lower specific gravity. TPO also has excellent heat resistance, which is second only to TPEE among TPE families.

General features of TPO:
Low density
Weather resistance
Heat resistance
Ozone resistance
UV resistance
High impact resistance
Good chemical resistance to acid, base and detergent
Flexible at low temperature
Recyclable
Good tear resistance

TPO Applications:
Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is widely used in different industries. However, it is mainly used in automotive industry of auto parts. And due to its excellent weather resistant, Thermoplastic Polyolefin (TPO) is ideal for outdoor applications.
