Low-Density Fascia Trim TPO

Through significant work at the molecular level, a new lower density (0.98 g/cm3) compounded TPO has been developed that meets all the stiffness, impact strength, dimensional stability, and melt-flow rate (MFR) requirements for automotive exterior body side moldings, rocker moldings, wheel flares, and fascias while reducing mass 5%, and cost ≈$1 USD /vehicle. Owing to its higher MFR, the material can be molded at lower temperatures, saving burden rate and shortening molding cycle times. It offers the same mechanical performance as the standard density TPO it replaced.
