What is TPO?
Exultra™ is a family of TPO (Thermoplastic PolyOlefins) designed
specifically for thermoforming applications offered exclusively by
PMC.Exultra TPO products are offered in a wide variety of formulations,
as well as custom grades and formulations to meet your exacting
specifications.
What are the advantages of Exultra™ TPO?
» Durable
Improved impact strength over ABS, HIPS and Fiberglass Our high quality
TPOs can withstand real world wear and tear, eliminating the need for
costly secondary preventative measures such as pre-drilling holes to
prevent crack propagation
» Cold Weather Performance
Cold temperature durability/impact for versatility and longer wear;
Ductile to -30° C
» Coefficient of Linear Thermal Expansion
Less than half of the CLTE of ABS, which tends to crack at attachment
points due to notched sensitivity (commonly confused with impact
strength and cold climate durability)
» Sound Deadening
High quality TPOs possess sound deadening characteristics, resulting in
a reduction in cag noise (buzz, squeak and rattle)
» Thermoformable
Can be used for a variety of formed product applications
» Recyclable
100% of trim scrap can be reused, resulting in cost savings; Compliance
with environmental standards; RoHS compliant with no heavy metals
» Custom Colors, Finishes and Decorations
To suit your applications and your customer’s discriminating taste;
Including metallics, pearlescents and patterns; Available in a variety
of finishes including haircell, calf, matte, smooth, scratch-resistant
gloss and custom finishes
» Additives and Custom Grades
Permanent anti-static, Static dissipative, ESD and Flame retardant;
Available in a wide range of colors (not limited to black); Thermally
and electrically conductive with improved thermoforming performance over
other conductive materials such as PP, HIPS and ABS; Increased
dielectric strength
» UV Protected and Outdoor Weatherable Throughout
Designed for superior performance in interior and exterior applications;
Formulated using the latest technology for coloring to ensure that the
product will exhibit little fade, even in extreme conditions;
Accelerated UV stability packages available; Improved heat aging
without cracking |
