Applications for polyolefin thermoplastic elastomers

TPO is a new type of automotive interior materials. English full name Thermoplastic polyolefin, thermoplastic polyolefin elastomers, has just started in China, relative to PVC materials, its bai has low density, energy saving and environmental protection advantages.

Polyolefin thermoplastic elastomer is a high-performance polyolefin products, at room temperature into rubber elasticity, with a small density, bending, low-temperature impact resistance, high performance, easy to process, can be reused and so on. Experts predict that this product will be widely used in the 21st century in the automotive manufacturing industry at home and abroad.

Full isotactic polypropylene and ethylene - propylene copolymer blends with fillers, enhancers, antioxidants, pigments, plasticisers and other additives with, called TPO (Thermoplastic Polyolefin, Thermoplastic Polyolefin).

TPO has three main applications: automotive, wire and cable, mechanical products. Automotive parts is the largest market for TPO, excellent weather resistance, low density, processing flexibility and low cost to make TPO become the manufacture of automotive interior and exterior parts are very commonly used raw materials, such as air valves, bumper guards, wings, mesh windows, rubber strips, ducts, sealing gaskets, automotive interior decorative parts. Nanjing Suminoe Precision specialises in sheet film roll equipment.

In terms of wires and cables, TPO has replaced PVC and vulcanised rubber in many occasions, such as flexible cables, step-up cables, instrumentation cables, low-voltage sheathing, in addition, there are also special low-smoke and flame-retardant grade TPO. Nanjing Suminoe Precision specialises in sheet film coil equipment.

For processing convenience, commercially available TPO is in pellet form, which can be processed by most thermoplastic processing methods, such as injection moulding, extrusion moulding, blow moulding, vacuum forming, blown film.General processing conditions and uses of TPO, as for specific processing conditions can be obtained from suppliers.

The product has a wide range of applications in automotive parts. In automotive exterior parts, it is mainly used in bumpers, radiators, chassis, outer body panels, wheel guards, movable roofs and other protective rubber strips, windshield rubber strips and so on. In the interior parts, it is mainly used in the instrument panel and interior panel skin, airbag outer skin layer material, etc..
