{"product_id":"opti-flex-tpo","title":"Opti-Flex TPO","description":"\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eOpti-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.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eSuitable 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4 class=\"p1\"\u003eKey properties\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTensile properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opti-Flex TPO show outstanding mechanical properties, outperforming other TPE from the same hardness range.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eLightweight properties:\u003c\/strong\u003e Its low density reduces overall product weight, contributing to energy efficiency and lower part cost when compared to other transparent thermoplastic elastomers.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eUV and weather resistance:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opti-Flex TPO performs well in outdoor environments, no yellowing being observed under sunlight.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eEasy processing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Can be processed using standard thermoplastic methods, such as injection molding and extrusion, ensuring cost-effective production.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eTransparency:\u003c\/strong\u003e Opti-Flex TPO outstanding transparency allow a wide array of uses, including soft, flexible PVC replacement and bright colors.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli class=\"p1\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eChemical Purity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 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.
