Lightweight TPO Bumper Cover

A new, lighter weight TPO bumper cover was developed using high-crystallinity PP, ethylene-octane rubber, and a combination of nano-size talc and micron-size whisker fillers similar to magnesium oxysulfate.  The material provides high mechanical performance, improved dimensional stability, and low CLTE thanks to the high aspect ratio filler. Weight is reduced 7-10% and the material is cost neutral vs. the material it replaced. Additionally, 6 patents have been obtained on the development.
