Apigo™ D 55T

Apigo™ D 55T by Trinseo is a thermoplastic olefin elastomer (TPO) based compound containing raw materials from renewable sources. Is suitable for processing by injection molding, extrusion, extrusion-blow molding and over-molding. Is an excellent alternative to flexible PVC for halogen-free products. Possesses rigidity lower than conventional polypropylene and allows co-molding to polyolifinic substrate. Shows physical and mechanical properties comparable to conventional TPOs derived from fossil fuels. Apigo™ D 55T allows reduction of CO2 emissions and greenhouse gases thereby saving fossil resources. Exhibits lightness, elasticity, good resistance to low temperatures, good range of hardness, excellent brightness, excellent transparency, non-stress whitening, elastic modulus, chemical resistance to acids and bases, high processability, short molding cycles and easy recycling (100%). Used in building and construction applications, home furnishings, automotive, packaging, electrical domestic appliances, thermo-hydro sanitary, toys, sports footwear (ski boots, inline skates and ice-skates), household products and personal care applications. Complies with European 10/2011/EC standard and FDA.
