Polyolefin-based thermoplastic, economical and versatile
TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin) is a polyolefin-based thermoplastic elastomer that combines good flexibility, chemical adhesion, and resistance to atmospheric agents.
Thanks to its PP and PE-based structure, it offers characteristics similar to SBS but at lower cost, while maintaining good performance in co-molding, grip, and lightweight technical parts.
IonPlast offers TPO grades that are easy to color, recyclable, and also suitable for food contact.
