Opti-Flex TPO

0,00 kr

Opti-Flex TPO is primarily made of various polyolefin elastomers, combined together to form a soft, transparent, highly flexible material with good processing properties in injection molding and extrusion. Unlike other TPEs, Opti-Flex TPO is not a block-copolymer or a rubberized polymer, but a unique, homogenous polyolefinic material with thermoplastic elastomeric properties.

Suitable for food contact applications in line with EU No 10/2011, REACH and RoHS2 compliant, and free from EPR/EPDM. Fully compatible with PP. Recyclable in the rigid PP packaging stream (Recyclass, up to 10%) and can be reintroduced as regrind without predrying.

Key properties

  • Tensile properties: Opti-Flex TPO show outstanding mechanical properties, outperforming other TPE from the same hardness range.
  • Lightweight properties: Its low density reduces overall product weight, contributing to energy efficiency and lower part cost when compared to other transparent thermoplastic elastomers.
  • UV and weather resistance: Opti-Flex TPO performs well in outdoor environments, no yellowing being observed under sunlight.
  • Easy processing: Can be processed using standard thermoplastic methods, such as injection molding and extrusion, ensuring cost-effective production.
  • Transparency: Opti-Flex TPO outstanding transparency allow a wide array of uses, including soft, flexible PVC replacement and bright colors.
  • Chemical Purity: Opti-Flex TPO doesn’t contain mineral oil, making it material of choice for soft grips to avoid oil migration, surface properties and haptics changes overtime. As a styrene-free material, it can be used in applications banning TPE-S compounds.
  • Food Approved: Suitable for applications requiring compliance with food safety standards.
  • Soft touch: Provides a pleasant tactile feel, ideal for grips, handles, and consumer products.
