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