TPO - Thermoplastic Elastomer
Suitable to the Parties with a view
TPE-based styrene and PVC plasticized applications on areas that require a superficial appearance and optimum elastomer.
Applications that require property read and / or medium-light are optimal for these compounds TPO.
The thermoplastic elastomers TPO have the following advantages:
Cost / performance excellent (density from 0.90 to 1.10 g/cm3)
Surface optimal for printed products of high quality
Absence of halogens
Capacity of high elongation and excellent resistance to breakage and traction
Good adhesion of paint
Good electrical properties
Good resistance to UV
Colour easy and good grip colour
Absence of plasticizers
The elastomers TPO may not match the properties of thermoplastic elastomers fully vulcanised rubber (type Santoprene) regarding the following:
water proof
Excellent performance at high temperatures
Deformation compression and internal tensions
